Try justradios.com or samswebsite.com for a Sams schematic. The Schematic Bank at http://techpreservation.dyndns.org/ has Beitmans in djvu format for free download on your radio.

The garbled sound could be the antenna is not connected properly. Verify the antenna wiring. Schematic shows one end of the antenna goes to the ganged tuning capacitor not the B- bus or the chassis. The other antenna lead goes to pin 7 of the 12BE6 tube.

Confused about the 10 warm up unless you have a really weak tube somewhere. Systematic troubleshooting is called for.
