Joe, according to your recent posts it would seem that MW has packed up since delving into the osc coil can.
That might be coincidence or it might be that the transistor has given up the ghost altogether in oscillator terms.
For what it's worth I would check the continuity of all three osc coil windings, if they are ok then check the two bias resistors (100k & 22k) if they are ok then change the transistor.
It's not uncommon for a transistors gain to fall over time, that transistor needs all the gain it can get due to the oscillator design, the oscillator tank on LW has a low LC ratio due to it using a tank coil common to both wavebands.
Lawrence. [EDIT: High LC ratio should have read low LC ratio.....now corrected....]
