Hi Ron,
I'm trying to figure out the answer to your coil question. If you can replace the micas, it is quite possible the issue will be solved.
The fact that the 1400 kc trimmer is trimmed all the way out is telling us something. Might be a common factor, might be suggestive that more mica caps are suspect.
If I have any more thoughts, I'll follow up later.
Cheers
Ed
