It does, and will do. I have noticed what I think might be a problem with the tuning gang trimmers. Here are photos of both trimmers (C7 & 11). Unfortunately, the one of C7 is a bit blurred because it was difficult to get the focus in such close quarters, but it looks to me like the bottom plate of the trimmer on C7 is broken off on the near side. I've included the photo of C11 for comparison.
    This one is C7.
The one below is C11.

In addition to the fact that they are filthy, dirty, C7 looks broken to me. Would this be a reason for no oscillation?
