I've got this set 90% restored electrically, but am having one last issue with it. The SW band will not track at the bottom, no matter what I do with the adjustments. It gets as close as I can get it (6 MHz shows as 6.2 MHz on the dial) with the lower end compensator cap pretty much fully open. The high end tracks pretty well, down as far as about 8 MHz or so, then gets progressively more off.

Any ideas?

TIA
