The reason I bring this up is that I have an Emerson AC-149 that had been messed up by some hacker before me and the oscillator would drop out. Sure enough, the outermost blade was bent outwards to affect it. I "carefully" straightned it parallel with the others and problem solved.
So, even though there were no "shorts" the spacing was affecting proper operation!

Bending the outer blade is a proper technique for adjusting the tracking for many radios. It sounds like it may not have been done properly on your Emerson by the previous person.
