Had some other things that needed my attention more, so this project has been on the back burner for a while. Since I never worked on a radio that doesn't use the standard variable capacitor for tuning, (this set uses the shafts that move in and out of coil sleeves for tuning), I have a question: Would it hurt anything to spray some DeOxIt onto the shafts and work them in and out of the coil sleeves, or what would you recommend to clean them with? I believe that is where the problem lies with this set in preventing it from receiving stations. Either there is dirt in the coils or something is touching and shorting them out.
