any input about this would be much appreciated !

Congrats!

If the tuning works for part of the range, and then goes dead, my first guess would be that you have a bent fin(s) on the main tuning capacitor, or a piece of something conductive stuck between the fins. When you turn the capacitor to that point, the fins touch, and you loose the tuned circuit completely.

If it's bent fins they can easily...well, maybe not easily...be fixed. Patience is the key.
