Update :-)

There was a wire missing between the Cathode and the flexible 300 ohm resistor of the 1st IF tube. The radio is blasting now. I am picking up the broadcast stations pretty well and I also got a couple shortwave stations between 5 Mhz and 8 Mhz to come in but I am sure I still need to align the radio. The flexible resistor measures 325 ohms and the schematic says it should be 300 ohms. Should I replace the flexible resistor? I really appreciate your help with this !!!
