Tonight I checked all the Sprague "Vitamin Q" paper capacitors in
the IF module, and the audio module: all checked out to be
excellent. No leakage as far as I my instrument can tell, and spot-
on for capacitance.
Still a lot of noise, but now the receiver is working on all bands,
although somewhat poorly.
While working on the IF module, I found a broken wire which
LOOKED like it was still soldered to its post, but was in fact not
making contact at all. When I fixed that, I got all the A-3 mode
settings back.
Took the RF Oscillator module out. Something in it appears to be
loose. May be the tube.
The receiver is WAY out of alignment.
