6 transistor radio has me stumped

Just picked up a Zenith Royal, 1962; 6 PNP germaniums inside. Replaced the
3 electrolytics, found a solder spike rammed into another wire, but there
is one remained issue. No LO. I can inject 455kHz into the 1st IF and
there is lots of audio. Basically, the convertor transistor is not
oscillating. The coils involved are not open, the PNP has normal bias.
Can a germanium lose high frequency gain, and still have good DC bias? of
course, "high frequency" in this case is 1.5MHz.
