well went through the procedure again and it still only pulls in about 3 or 4 stations both on the high and low side of the dial.

Made a tool out of a pen body to turn the 1/4 nuts on the caps.

I re aligned the IF section I injected the 260 tone into the grid cap of the 36 tube (detector/ocs). I tried injecting in the grid cap of the 1st IF tube (39/44) but nothing responded when tweaking the caps so went back to the 36 tube.

Then injected a 1400 tone into the antenna clip and tuned to 1400 on the dial and peaked the HF lug on the tuning cap, and then injected a 600 tone and moved the dial to 600 and peaked the low freq. cap.

I hooked up an antenna and tuned around the dial and its the same deal as last night, I did peak the RF and Detector lugs on the tuning cap for loudest volume on the stations I can pull in.

When tuning to say 1230 what little sound i get is garbled and the moving the tuning dial slightly makes it squeal.

When I took it apart to clean it I did pull the tuning cap apart including pulling the stators out of the assembly to remove the rust. I didnt this before reading that its pretty much a no no since its a pain to get them set right again. When I put them back in I checked each plate in the tuning cap for shorts and there are non.

Sucks I have many hours in this radio..
