Did you check the the 200 uuf cap that is used in the lowest range? I see that you have replaced the 2 uf and the .02 uf caps, but apparently not the 200 uuf cap. If it is *open* or perhaps poorly soldered, the C-3 will perform as you described. I just un-soldered the 200uuf cap in my C-3 to verify.
