I did have the 12uf tied to the wrong spot. I knew it came off the double terminal strip, and I just instinctively tied the negative side of the cap to the terminal that was true ground. I moved it to the other (correct) terminal, and now it sounds great. This is a very nice sounding radio.

Thanks for the help!

Now I have one more question. I noticed on the antenna drum, 2 of the 5 wires are rubber coated, and one is in pretty bad shape. It looks like all you have to do open it up is pry up some staples. But putting them back in might be an issue. I would assume I could use a standard staple gun with the same size staples. How much trouble am I asking for if I open this up? Or should I just wrap the wires with electrical tape and call it a day?
