Grunow model 580 only tracking on half of tuning cap

As soon as I got it wired correctly, with the proper caps and resistors where they should be, the trimmer that wasn't doing anything worked normal, and I had the full range on the tuner. Lesson learned....never assume anything with regards to what appears to be untouched. It can and will kick your....
