After fighting with the tuner and trying every channel, I finally got reception on channel #6.
Time to dig into the tuner.
WOW! What a trip. One of the coolest tuners I've ever seen
A beautiful piece of engineering!
The coils and caps are routed out of PCB type material. Similar to what you'd seen in modern RF electronics.
and here's the problem
There are score marks on the adjustments for channels 3 & 4 and the coils are damaged.
Likely a tool slipped while someone was trying to make adjustments.
I'll try to carefully push it back into place and glue down.
