I trust it is a coax fed dipole.
My 80M dipole has a 1:1 SWR with the tuner in bypass at 3800. To make it
match at 3550 I use 11.5 turns of inductance counted from full stop at
the left and then counting clockwise, the C is @ 6 and the Hi Z on #1.
As to what the slide dial says, it's been broken for years. I just count
the turns.
Will it match a 50 ohm load at that frequency? Try it. There may be a
bad C at the back of the switch.
