Still have problem on range 2. Changed 1150pfd cap, no difference. Close inspection of coils noted that one lead of RF range 2 primary broke off wafer switch. (Probably happend when replacing caps deep within). Soldered lead back on to D3, still cannot align this range correctly.

Before I remove the RF section from chassis again to check this coil closer can someone please confirm that when the radio range lever is in range 2 I should read 12 ohms of the primary between D3 and D6 of the wafer. I read open. Getting to these coils is nearly impossible.
