I am working on an early Radio Rentals set which I believe has a model 58 chassis. After recapping the RF and IF stages the set is working on MW but will only tune to BBC Radio 5 Live (909 kHz). With an aerial this is very strong but no other stations are available and LW is completely dead. I suspect the local oscillator of IF stage but my experience in trouble shooting these is limited. Has anyone experienced this problem or able to offer some advice? any help will be greatly appreciated.
