I don't have any antenna hooked up. 
Was working with the plate to which the rod is attached, without the rod.
Not really popping....just noisier than I'd like to.
I alined the IF. I did not put the IF to the converter grid via cap, I simply coupled into the antenna and then aligned.
I am not sure what the initial position of the dial pointer is: is it the black-white divide, is it something else? If I use the divide (the pointer horizontal) I can't get the oscillator to span at 1600. Just a smidge. Moving the poiner just a tad closer to the 1600 gets it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
