OK, I am closing it.
I am listening to it, sound good. Not your 37-116, but good. No bad distortion anymore.
And although the tuned hum right now is present, it does not cause bad distortion like it was before and is heard as what it is - a hum. Before it mixed with music and created very bad effect.
The gain dropped a bit but was expected. Still very loud, but the local station no longer tries to rip out the cone at maximum on "normal" gain setting. And this is still without any antenna. With antenna it is very-very loud.
I am satisfied. Short of redesigning the detector I don't want the gain at the expense of bad music.
Will keep it on the desk 'till the weekend and then I will assemble it.
