Thanks for the replies. Got tied up with work last couple days..

I found one problem, i forgot to re-solider the ground strap to the tuner screw. After I fixed that I was able to peak the #12 and the Antenna trimmer to 600kc. I tried to get the HF two play ball but no luck. I had my signal gen set to 1400 the dial set to 1400, and nothing I tried could get the high side to align.

I'm not sure how to check if the oscillator is running through out the band, at the low end I can pick up some stations, so it seems ok, but nothing on the high end.
