Hello Graeme,

If the plates of the capacitor have a short circuit it must occur on every band at the same place on the dial.
I don't know your type of radio, so probably this has only one then the problem could be somewhere else.
My Erres radio KY488 had a short circuit in the capacitor that was caused by wear and tear of the bearing at the back of the capacitor housing. The bearing consists of a mall screw what ajusts the distance between the plates (red arrow at the picture). With a little ajustment the short circuit could be solved.

Regards,

Ed
