Might be a bent tuning cap plate that shorts out when you tune below 700KHz. The problem spot would be just entering the mesh when you tune just at 700KHz. Higher frequencies it would be outside the meshed area of the cap. If it's the local oscillator cap, the radio would go completely quiet if the oscillator goes dead. But so would the radio if it was the antenna circuit.
