Default Bush BAC31 motorboating

Hi all, I have my BAC31 on the bench at the moment for a recap. Anyway, with all the leaky old waxies and plastic Hunts' gone I expected it to work ok...

This was sadly not to be, and it produces no signal at all sitting there, instead having some healthy crackle and when the wavechange switch is turned another healthy crackle.

One odd thing I did notice though, is with the wavechange switch between the two settings sometimes it will start to motorboat and bring in stations loud and clear. The noise will fade before the station coming in fine (after actually moving the switch to the band position) before the noise coming back and the signal being lost.

I've tried cleaning the wavechange switch but this hasn't done anything....

Any suggestions on getting a permanent signal on this?

Thanks, Josh.
