I tried all the suggestions above and nothing changed.  But when I removed the tuning eye (6U5) tube and the radio plays good. I substituted another tube and it goes back to the same distortion. Removed the eye tube again and the radio is fine.  I poked around and wiggled each wire for the 6u5 socket under the chassis but couldn’t find anything.
Nothing is lighting up or getting warm on the eye tube.
