I'd loosen up about 4 turns from being tight. Find a station around 1400kc and align the set to that. You will find that tuning is a bit broad compared to a superhet and there isn't an adjustment like the oscillator which will cause the stations to move quickly across the dial. Then you are aligning a TRF set what you are doing is peaking each rf amplifier at a set frequency. There is no low frequency padder like you may have on a superhet.

Now I think I've got!
