This is tough one, If the set has a loop antenna built in, you might try to rotate direction of set in anotherwise good reception area. Of course if stuff is cutting out at 1400 and there is no reception above it, could be a piece of whatever caught at the top o the blades of the tuning capacitor that you could dislodge patiently with a piece of paper between each gap. If it rubs, it is touching. Try, then come back.
