Oscillator coil would be L2 in this case, right? That's a fixed coil on mine - looks like it might just be the nature of this beast.
You can bend plates to stop rubbing. Be careful that you're bending the right one(s) or you'll be making new rubbing...

Usually there are 2 screws on the side of the tuning cap that are adjustable open air mica insulated trimmer caps near terminals on the tuning cap. If there's no FM the osc trimmer will be the adjustment screw on the side of the smaller set of fixed plates on the tuning cap. The service manual often calls out a procedure for setting both the osc and tuning sections of the variable cap (and RF section if if we're an AA6 and there's an RF amp stage).
