Found the problem! Z404, a choke/cap combination, was wired to the white lead on Z400 instead of the green lead. The two connection points are right next to each other. That caused a very weak signal from the plate of the converter. Connected it properly, aligned the IF, and picks up stations. I really think the stock speaker is too small for this radio.
