Success!

I placed the chassis right side up, plugged the speaker back in, and fired it up again...

This time, it tuned in my SSTRAN and the music came in loud and clear. Icon_thumbup

I was really lucky with this one, I think. The loss of one turn on the oscillator coil made no difference, and I did not think that it would. It could have been a lot harder...

Whew!

Now I have to fix the dial pointer, install the dial pointer in the right side dial, find and install a rubber coupling for the right side tuning, and give the thing a complete alignment.
