Just got tired of the IFT problems, and repairing or replacing the IFT's in them.
I'd suggest checking the IFT's before progressing.
That early model SX24 doesn't use the type of IFT you're referring to.
the IFT's used in that set have compression trimmer resonant caps used.
This is from a collector who has over 50 pieces of Hallicrafter models.
