without a cap: 3.57966
If that's right, the cap is pulling it 60 Hz, which is a nice amount of pull, so it seems something else is wrong. Which capacitors in the reactance tube section and the 3.58 MHz oscillator have you NOT replaced? Do you know for sure the reactance tube is good? Is the plate voltage 5 volts lower than the B+ supply as the schematic says? Time to look for anything that is not right.

Yeah I was up a bit later than usual last night.. Sorry about that. Your numbers are right just know that the lowest frequency is a bit rounded. To be exact I get about 3.579620 which is a bit higher than 3.579600 but it shouldnt really make much difference. The 6AN8 reactance tube is confirmed good. I'll check the voltage on the plate of the pentode of the 6AN8 next.
