Hi Guys - I found the problem. After poking around the chassis and finding nothing of significance I decided to scrub the gang cap. plates with a pipe cleaner and lacquer thinner. dried it, applied power and the freq. monitor went to over 2 MHz. I then went through the alignment twice and now it picks up all the stations in the right place. I guess the spray bath I gave it during the rebuild wasn't enough. Too much barn juice. The buzzy garble is a rubbing speaker voice coil. I connected a 12" PM speaker and it sounds great.

I have to thank all for your assistance and verifying that I was on the right path. Feels great to have this help.
