Ok, You hit it right on the head. I forgot to clean the band-switch. I thought I did but apparently NOT..

After cleaning the SW bands started to work. I went back and realigned the IF and now motor boating is gone. Sensitivity has improved also. I did change out the 6A8 tube and that helped a lot on SW bands..

Only thing now I need is some Grill cloth as mine is in pretty bad shape..

See photo.. Cannot seem to find this pattern anywhere...
