Ok After looking the radio over again and measuring the Tuning Cap I found a spot where it was reading a Short.. actually 2 spots.. Looked at it closely and found 2 Plates touching.. After I fixed that the scratching noise went away. Realigned the IF and RF and radio now works. Not really that sensitive but OK.. Was hearing CHU Canada on 3.330 Mhz so not to bad.. AM worked pretty good as a Canadian station at 740 KHZ was coming in .. Had to use a long antenna as this doesn't have a loop built in..

So now to put back into cabinet and make sure dial is set correctly...
