I did notice at odd times, I would get some distortion or rattle from the speaker . I assume it is either an issue in the audio section or could be indicative of it still needing an alignment?
Any ideas or suggestions where to look?

Also, since this has a circuit for the phonograph player, I contemplated adding in a cut-off mini jack to allow an iPod or similar device to be plugged in. My wife enjoys being able to listen to her music or podcasts on the bigger consoles, without having to mess with my AM transmitter. Any thing I should look out for, considering the type of pickup this has and whether this could work without modifying it too much? I'd rather not drill a hole in the chassis, rather, mount a plate with the plug on the back of the cabinet.

There is a switch up on the platform for the record player to switch from radio to phono. I thought I could just wire it in through that connection, and utilize the cut-off feature of a mini headphone jack, which I have on hand. With nothing plugged in, the phono switch would work as normal, and with it plugged in, the phono would be cut off.

Any feedback would be welcome.  

Here's the schematic again for reference.
