The trimmer labeled 19A range is 17pf-120pf, 10 300pf-900pf. Pin 4 was in fact wired to the one labeled 19A which reads the lower capacitance. I crossed the wires to connect pin 4 to the 300pf side and pin 2 to the 20pf side. I can adjust but still having some problem. Lower broadcast stains 620 - 920 come in pretty good. The high-end stations are not coming in and after my adjustment as I move the tunning dial, I pick up the 1400 signal at several points. I feel I am getting close but still have a bug to work out.
