My thanks to everyone who has sent me ideas. At one of your suggestions I built a simple circuit to check the xtal performance. It works fine - series resonant at 5563.3 kHz and parallel resonant between 5599.1 and 5599.3 kHz. So the problem must be in the four caps I haven't checked yet.

I am trying to bring my old R4B/T4XB combination back to life after about 35 years of non-use. The 5595 kHz oscillator part of the second mixer 12BE6 circuit does not oscillate. I have tried several tubes with no effect. As far as I can determine, the tube is functioning normally and I can make
