im speaking about the trimmer caps on the back panel that are used to align the radio.
one of the sheets i have for this radio called them condenser caps.

i did NOT replace these.
one of them is missing the nut though. will have to find one.

That's not your immediate problem but its definitely an issue that will need to be resolved. Make sure the mica sheet is still between the plates of the trimmer.
