Well I guess I messed up. I did an alignment again with very little difference but then I realized the band switch was in the SW position. When switched to AM the whole band came to life. I just assumed I was on the AM band since I was receiving AM stations. So now the question is why am I getting mid band stations on the SW band?

My antenna is just a long wire about 100 feet long stretched between trees with a ground rod driven in the ground about 50 feet from the house. Works quite well on these old radios.
