That's good news! If you are getting results at both ends of the tuning scale but only crackles in the middle, that points to a problem with the tuning capacitor. You could prove that by resistance checks with the set unplugged. If this is the case, ideas for clearing shorts are here: https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ead.php?t=1144
