Update. There is now a dead zone above approximately 1150 or so where nothing comes in. Slight static or humming but only stations below this range come in. Used card stock to clean between the tuning blades and blew it and the entire chassis out with compressed air. No effect. When I adjust the dial from from the range where stations do come in and when they don't, there is a slight pop and then silence. Adjust slightly towards the other direction and stations return so there is a definitive dial location where it goes silent. Is this indicative of a short in the tuning capacitor?

Thanks all for the assistance.
