Just got through re-capping and re-wiring. Aligned the IF, couldn't align the RF. The pushbuttons work. But the tuning condenser is wierd. 19, 19A, and 21B are involved. I get only one station when manual tuning, from a fully un-meshed condenser, continuing for about 30 degrees,  then nothing. 21B has very liitle effect, if any.

I know it's probably something really simple, and probably as something to do with 21B, but it is eluding me. And alcohol is NOT involved.
