Started looking into SW. From day one SW reception was either non existent or barely there, sometimes when I've hit the tuning capacitor I was able to find quite few(mainly foreign stations).
Well, found the problem now. Fixed it too.
This radio is an absolute monster of a puzzle at times
I went over the whole set again and found 4 more of these too(basically wires came off at slightest push), along couple more of faulty silver mica caps, one looked like it delaminated, was showing correct capacity as far as I squeezed it.
It's finally at least functional. Cord and more voltages checking next.
