Re: Top caps ;can you explain them?
Looking at the circuit for the ACE set I see there is a series coil capacitor across the aerial input which should be tuned to the IF frequency to stop breakthrough of any unwanted signals around the IF frequency 465 kc/s. Possibly this is out of adjustment and could be attenuating LW signals. Otherwise I would measure the LW coils to make sure they have not gone open circuit.
Other comments I would agree with though I would doubt that C4 is faulty as they usually used mica caps. C2 might be the culprit as it is only in circuit on LW.
