I took out the band switch and cleaned it in my ultrasonic cleaner and reinstalled it. I also replaced the 6A7 Oscillator tube. With the signal generator set at 1600 khz with modulation on and connected to the antenna jack I get a tone on the speaker when the dial is at 1600 khz, but when I turn the trimmer cap it has no affect.
