After going thru this radio again I still couldn't figure out why the SW would not work. I was thinking that this might have been a modified radio from WW2 where they disabled the SW but could not find anything so I decided to go back thru the alignments one more time.
All went well with the 470KC until I heard a loud squeal then dead silence. My substitute 6A7 gave up for some reason. Placed my original 6A7 back in and redid the alignments. I can now recieve all stations below 1500KC without problems but above that on the AM band I'm getting that motorboating again and still nothing on the SW.
I still think its the 6A7 thats giving me the problems so I have put out a feeler for a NOS one, not an used/tested one. I hope that this will fix my problems. Plus I need to get some chassis mounting bolts for this.
