If all else fails, you'll need to clean out the mica trimmers on the side of the tuning capacitor. They may have residue from the "power cleaning." Problem is, if you take those apart, you lose your alignment. Method: tighten each trimmer screw, carefully counting turns down to the last quarter turn, all the way. Write down the number. Then take the screw out. Clean the trimmer plates and the mica insulator with a cotton swab and alcohol. Allow to dry. Reassemble turning the screw tight, then back the screw out per the number you wrote down. You'll be close to where you were but will need to tweak the alignment.
