I found the problem with the radio. TC8, the trimmer capacitor for the low
end VCO range was cracked and wouldn't tune.

I've seen that before.. cracked coils and trimmers are the signs
of a twirler,someone with tools but little skills with regard to
rf alignment. was the trimmer accessable before dismantling?


I looked at the parts list and all that was given was a Sony part
number.......no value in pF.
What a useless manual! At least it was only 25 dollars. If I knew what
value this cap was supposed to be, I would throw in a microwave trimmer
cap.....that is, if I could get all of that plastic for the bandswitching
mechanism out of the way.
