IT'S ALIVE!!!! sort of. 
Replaced the 9K 10K and 1M resistors all were way out of tolerance.
didn't work.
Changed all the caps in the block caps.
didn't work.
played with the regen adjustment and got a few birdies but didn't work.
So in a hail mary move, I swapped the weak 36's.... jackpot!!
It's nowhere near right, and has almost no volume but is gettting about 10 stations on a 6' antenna.
I'll get some new 36's and a 42 then go from there.
