Put Deoxit on the switch contacts and align it using a nanoVNA per the factory manual. . It's an easy radio to work on and a really neat design.It deserves its reputation.
Have Fun!

Blowing out the dust from the preselector, MHz, and main tuner caps started it receiving.

Also, exercise all the bandswitches.

At least that would be a good start, if you haven't done those things already.

Hope it helps.
