Thanks, For your replies
I have set my transistor radio to 330 kHz and there is nothing picked up as I tune the KB 402 across LW. So it does look like the fault is in the LW oscillator coil.
I tried more experiments on MW and if the KB radio is tuned into Lyca radio on 1458 then I get a strong signal on my transistor at 1577
And with Smooth on 1431 then I get a strong signal on 1550
And on BBC Essex north on 765 I get a strong signal on 886
All 3 give a difference of about 120kHz so does that mean the IF tuning is out, or that this radio has a designed IF of 120 and not 130kHz. It is working very well on MW.
