Westinghouse tuning issue
#1

I've just completed electronics restoration of a Westinghouse WR-217. All paper and electrolytic caps have been replaced and all out-of-tolerance resistors replaced. A full alignment using a signal generator has been done. One other notable item is that I had to replace the antenna coil with a tunable universal coil. All voltages are close to stated voltages.
The radio receives plenty of stations BUT the audio is distorted sounding like the tuning is slightly off frequency. No amount of fussing with the tuning cleans up the reception.
Where do I look next? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Don
