Grip the tuning indicator dial (not the crank- the dial itself)
with you fingers and rock it a little back-and-forth,
up-and-down.  Do the signals come back intemittantly?
If so, you have either a bad solder joint that connects to
the cap or some place on the cap assembly itself has
gone Hi-Z, which is becoming quite common.
Also- grip the tops of the IF cans and the tubes
and give them a little "rock."

Give that a quick try and let us know.
