Thank you all for some great ideas to go a checking. The idea of the "antenna" acting to pick up the something from up front makes sense. Time to check some coils. I have not aligned the IF yet but did hook the generator to the grid cap of the IF tube and swept the gen and seems like the 2nd IF transformer peaks around 270 (should be 260). At this point I don't believe I can get a signal through from the 1st detector the way it is working.
