>Also check the two ground connection, one at the cathode of the 2nd 77 tube it's done though a rivet which maybe a problem and the tap on the 2ndary or the IF coil.

Thanks for the info earlier today. I'll check these two points as well. While I have the antenna coil out I'm going to rewind the primary. Can't seem to find a local supplier for the wire so it is going to be a few days before I can continue.
