I'd suggest a good bandswitch cleaning, then attempt the alignment again. Inspect the switch to make sure there are no broken tabs or the like. Your description of getting 680 moved to the right spot on the dial and the signal weakening is an indication that there is still a problem somewhere between the antenna and the grid. If the antenna coil checks out then the switch is the only thing left.
