Check the Mystery Control coil windings for continuity, tank and tickler. Also the M.C. antenna in the set for continuty, along with any coils in the MC receiving tube(s).

Faulty/dirty trimmers maybe in set or MC? Have we replaced ALL the resistors in the MC and MC receiving circuitry more than 20% out?

No weak MC battery pack (or cells)? Nice clean contacts on dial mechanism?

Thyratron tube good in set? No mechanical stickiness in solenoid(s) on stepper in radio?

All I can think of so far......
