I rechecked the BC & Sw oscillator more carefully with a magnifying glass. Sure enough one of the  hair thin wires to one of the  posts was disconnected I reconnected and now get two to three AM stations which isn't too bad since i am in a basement with no exterior antenna. Additionally  i checked R203 ,650 k vs 470 k on schemo R204 was 257vs 130 on schemo . I replaced both and reception is much better . Still trying to realign but cant get alignment signals to the radio. 

You have been tremendously helpful  to this newbie !
