Gentlemen:
Many thanks, and I stand corrected as to the SW bands and that they are push button dependant. Upon restoring the radio I sprayed all the tube holders with a contact cleaner, its a combined cleaner lubricant from Radio Shack, and it leaves a greasy deposit behind that I don't care for. I will pull the tubes again and clean their pins as you directed, and clean the sliding contacts again as well. I did not know what loctals were and looked it up, are all the tubes in this set loctals? I really hope to get that upper SW band to work correctly, it's a nice radio. Presently I am refinishing the cabinet and hope to complete all in the next week or two. Again thanks.
God bless,
Dave B.
