I found one thing of interest that might be the problem. The tuning cap is not all the way closed when the dial is at the low end stop. Just to clarify, when dial is at the mechanical stop and gang is closed, which set of lines should the tuning light line up with? The last set of lines on the dial, or the single line just past the low end on the BC band?

This may be my issue.
