??? There are only three windings. The secondary winding has three taps.
BTW, what are you using for an antenna? If it is a single wire, are you sure that the "Z" terminal is firmly connected to the "G" terminal?
Also, are you sure that the band switch is working properly? One winding is, IIRC, supposed to be shorted out for SW, and used only for Broadcast and Police.
