You say the FM is slug tuned like a Zenith instead of Cap tuned (like most other brands)? If so those slugs are usually on threadded rods that when twisted adjust where they hang/the tuning. The coil with fewer turns will be the Osc and the one with more turns will be the RF amp.

Yes the FM is slug tuned on this radio, but not the same type of slug tuning as Zenith Used, but the old Gorler type slug tune mechanism where it's a small grey rectangular box that has 3 adjustment screws on top and a string that comes out of the left side of it that is attached to the tuner pulley.
I tried adjusting some of the screws on top of that tuner assembly and they really didn't do much to affect the tuning except make the FM band louder.
