Thanks for the response. I do have a 100 ft long wire on it although no ground. The receiver sounds good on AM and SW bands so I tend not to tamper any further. The shadow meter functions good for the most part but really only narrows up on really strong signals. I measured the AVC on the left side of the 2 meg resistor R15. I just wasn't sure that AVC should swing slightly positive like it does when it is at max gain.

This radio was quite the challenge but I am very pleased with its performance so far.
