Well friends, I have a good update. After rewiring my unit and correcting the resistor, and socket grounds I am happy to report my radio works. Just went thru the alignment procedure and I am getting stations clear and loud.
As far as root cause I suspect my problem was the IF transformer. It was in very bad shape in my unit, so I swapped it with the unit from my parts chassis and all is well.
I can not express enough gratitude for all of your help here, it is truly appreciated.

Now on to my next project which is an Atwater Kent 854 which is in very bad shape ( rubber wire insulators)
Many Many Thanks
Ron
