first radio ive seen that flips the dial string like the belt on a Chevy Corvair!
my gut tells me that you have a bent fin on your tuning cap when its rotated down in that area...
but.. im sure you've already checked all that basic stuff but it wouldn't hurt to take a closer look.
they are not supposed to be touching ever correct? so im assuming if you put your meter on ohms and connect on either side of the tuning cap(s) ,, you would find that kind of a problem,, or by eyeball
the hallicrafters i did up for my son makes all kinds of noises if the band spread is moved anywhere beyond 60%... since he keeps it on around 20,, he never has an issue.
