I should have realized that.  I was thinking there was a random variable 
involved in this that would let the L and C "move" and stay in resonance, 
but that's not the case.  At any given position on the dial (and hence the 
variable cap), the other "variables" are fixed so the L and C must be 
specific values for resonance.  Thanks for straightening me out on that one. 
I guess I was just grabbing at straws trying to arrive at a reason why this 
thing is so far off calibration at it interior markings.
