The FL2100 series is notorious for the various mica 
capacitors being bad. I looked at one that appears to be a 
record a few months ago. It had about 8 bad mica caps in the 
tuned input.

They also used a very poor feedback system in some of that 
series. It was a feedback capacitor directly from the tank 
output to the tube input. Not a good idea at all.
