checked against a zenith transoceanic, same bands same time of day. i
guess a better phrasing would be, 'could misalignment (image maybe)
cause these problems. i will check the coil, but suspect ok. before
pulling the old tuner cap, could receive bc outside the areas it was
crackling on.

stations. i don't have a whole lot of experience w/this.

First, carefully clean the band switch wafer metal wipers with a cotton
Q-tip and some DeOxit.
No need for heavy handiness here -- just good patient (methodical) cleaning.
IF you are short on time or not patient that day -- do something else and
come back to it.

Perhaps you are simply trying to receive stations on bands for which
there is poor propagation during that particular time of day....
