OR: loosen, wiggle and then tighten each of the RF coils.  (The  
mounting screw is down at the bottom of the slug hole, right?)  You  
have to remove the slug rack for that band.  A bit of De-Oxit on the  
contact pins is a good idea if  you are doing an all-out restoration.

OR: slip a bit of wire down beside the crystal oscillator tube and  
hook it up to a bench receiver tuned to the expected frequency.
(I recommend an R-388 for a bench receiver.)
