Leave it in the final position with the bottom connected, and
disconnect the top from the circuit and test it at that point using
short leads to the 259B. Be sure to set the tank circuit to various
bands if you see a dip, so you are sure the tank is not sucking out
signal. You should see no change when you change the
bandswitch.
Watch for frequencies where the impedance dips.
