Great job on quite a radio. I watched your YouTube video of the first fireup of this set. I'm betting a check of voltages, any resistor changes etc. required, and an alignment will help. Did you get the shadow meter ironed out? One thing I might try on that, once the set is aligned, would be to replace the 1000 ohm resistor with a 5K or so pot hooked up rheostat style, and try different settings to see what would get the meter to "close" almost all the way on your strongest local. Then you could measure the pot and replace with a fixed resistor. 1000 ohms might not be what this set wants any more?
