OK, I touched up the alignment with the old transistor and got it working to an acceptable level. Then, I put it all back together and was listening to a certain station when it suddenly dropped off to next to nothing. I pulled it back apart and found the RF amp transistor to be intermittent. It would give me a reading one minute and then nothing the next. I tried a general purpose silicon PNP transistor and much to my surprise, the thing worked better than it ever had.
