Changed the grommets under the cap. Should've done that before recapping, had to unsolder two caps and then solder them back as they blocked one of the nuts.

This changed nothing, but then I blew, then sprayed with Blue Shower cleaner the tuning cap, then blew again to dry, and the rasping noise during tuning is gone now. Somehow it was more pronounced on BC and not so much on SW bands.

The white noise is still there but it is not huge. In fact it might be normal. I will compare it to other radios when fully assembled.
