As best I can tell, the bandswitch is making proper contact and the coils aren't open circuit.
Could a bad C8 (as in zero capacitance) cause this? it's the only non-shared cap limited to the broadcast section, and appears to be a mica domino-style cap.
I re-verified shortwave is indeed working as I seem to be picking up Radio Havana at around 17 Mhz, and a few other stations for which I didn't hear a call sign.
If it's unlikely to be C8 I'll have to set it aside until I get a signal generator I can tune to an AM frequency and trace through to see where the signal is dying.
