How about trying with the 44 RF tube out and its grid connection to the 36? This would eliminate any interaction with the RF stage and focus on how the 36 converter is working.
Receiving SW is really unusual unless you have the osc coil windings miswired. The only way you can receive 5.9 MHz is if the osc is also operating in that range and that could seemingly only occur if the wrong winding is connected to the tuning cap. Are you sure you rewired all the coil connections correctly?
Do you have a signal generator to inject a signal and determine what freqs the radio can actually receive?
Can you take a close up photo of the wiring to the osc coil under the chassis? Maybe I can compare it to how the coil in my 89 is wired.
