Philco 48-250

Hi, all.  So I recapped this set a while back and had all kinds of problems with whistles and stations coming in all over the dial.   I went back through it today.  I did an alignment and it's much better, but not right.  590 comes in well, but can be heard through much of the the lower end of the dial though quietly.   950 and 980 come in and it seems okay above there through the rest of the dial.  The antenna trimmer doesn't really peak.  tightened all the down it drops and as you back it off stations come in better, but it doesn't peak.  The IFs peak.  I used orange drops for all of the non-electrolytic  caps and ceramic disks for C401 and C201.  New electrolytics.  Any ideas?
