The dual cap marked 21 and 21A should be replaced. It looks like a mica cap but in fact is paper. It has been bad in most of the radios of this design that I have refurbed.

Does the oscillator work with the pushbuttons?
That might give a clue.

no it does not work with the pushbuttons either.

I will check the cap. Is that the square white one mounted on the bandswitch?

Thanks

Yes it is on the band switch.
I just checked a 41-250 here that I am listening to and the 'gimmik' is totally missing. It works fine on all bands.
