Default Question on Drake TR-4 restoration project.

Gents,

I have acquired a Drake TR4 with power supply that track accurately on 80,
40, 20, 15 meters. The dial on the three 10 meter bands indicates about
30khz higher than actual. I have tried to adjust the touchy L2 accurately,
looked at T1 for problems and swapped V1 tube. There are no cracked ferrite
cores. Other hams on the air have told me this is typical of this TR-4 gear
on 10 meters.

Is there a component or gimmick that would bring the 10m tracking back on?
Does having the 6JB8 PAs screen and plate B+ disconnected affect the 10m
band in this way (I would think not)?

What am I overlooking?

Thanks,
Paul.
