Hold the phone, folks. (And welcome here vacuum, by the way.) Icon_smile

You say that you have to tap on the 75 tube to restore proper operation. The 75 tube is the second detector and 1st audio tube; it has nothing to do with the oscillator circuit.

A possible fix for your 75: unsolder the solder which is on top of its grid cap, then apply fresh solder. This sometimes fixes 75 tubes with intermittent issues as yours appears to have.
