It took a while to get back to this radio, but what I found was what I read somewhere.  In the beginning, I pulled all three coils and checked them out replacing resistors and a bad mica.  Everything was good, they were put back in, and wires re-soldered.  The problem ended up being on one coil where the coil wire came off the solder tab, apparently when I soldered the wires back on.  So that's what it was, all is good now.  Attached a long wire to it, and picked up some stations from half way across the country.
