Thanks Mike, but apparently not enough work...

Good news and bad news.

The good news: The radio is up and running and performing very well on AM. It seems to be working on LW as well, but there isn't anything to listen to on the LW band in my area.

Also, I lubricated the mechanical band switch linkages and it is changing bands much better now.

The bad news: It is not receiving any shortwave. At all.

I certainly hope that I didn't mess up replacing any of the mica capacitors...I dread removing the Magic Brain again but I may have to. I'll try injecting signals first, and go from there.

Forgot to mention: As I was giving the radio a trial run, it suddenly stopped playing (AM). I noticed the 5Y3GT tube filament had gone dark (someone had stuck a 5Y3GT in place of the original metal 5Z4). I replaced it with another 5Y3GT and the set came back to life.
