I have heard of the problems with the oscillator coil but not the other stuff mentioned on the phorum. I turned the radio on this morning and it is playing below 900kc. Strange. The radio has been in my basement for almost a year. I keep the basement dry at about 40%. I have not checked the 36 cathode resistor to see if that helps. Will do that today. I had done another 89 early last year and had no problems with it but not to say there are none because I don't play it much. The chassis on the problem radio is somewhat warped as in all 4 corners do not set on the bench. I checked the tuning cap thinking there were shorts but found none. I'll give the feeler gauge a go. May even try the baking the chassis at 150 a try. I have not rewound a coil yet but have a shadow meter waiting for me to do that. 

I have another 89 waiting for its turn. Get the good times roll.
