I'm not quite sure what the problem was. I went back and put in another set of capacitors and 1 watt resistors and it worked. The antenna transformer had a broken wire that was soldered to the mounting lug so I soldered a new wire from the broken part to the lug which seemed to fix the a lot of the reception.

One last question about the antenna. What type of wire is good to use and how long should it be (without running it up a tree in my yard)?

Thanks to all of you for your help and I look forward to working on another.
