WA2ISE has a good idea about the tuning cap perhaps shorting out. Sometimes this is hard to see. To test, unsolder the wires to the stators of the cap. Clip your ohmmeter between one stator and cap frame. Turn cap through its range. Then do same with other stator. Should have infinite ohms throughout. Also clean spring contact between cap frame and rotor shaft (this cap may use another method of insuring electrical continuity to the rotor?)
