The problem turned out to be a loose wire connection for the plate voltage to the 1st detector. Now I have plenty of volume but the local stations are badly distorted, even with a short piece of wire for an antenna and low setting on the volume control.  Using a longer antenna the distant stations are not distorted when turning up the volume. The IF alignment is dead on. Am I looking at a speaker problem? The cone and surround are rather stiff.
