I just finished a 65 chassis and besides the 3 screws behind the tuning assy there is nothing else to adjust, I can pick up low end stations left and right on the high end of the dial but the low end is dead from about 1000 down, it is like the low end has been moved up. when you tune down you can hear it cut out as if the power was turned off. would anyone have any suggestions of what to look for? All coils, caps, tubes and resistors are good or have been replaced. Thanks, Todd
