Clearly your oscillator range is too high.  

 I think when you first compensate (align) with the hi end trimmer it drags up the low end.  They do interact a lot.

 clean the contacts in the main tuner assy.  If the trimmer caps and the tuner cap is good.  

 I would try a turn or two more on the coil you just rewound. I think it will lower the overall resonance.
