Default HQ180A restore

hi guys,
i am restoring an hq180a. been a while since i messed with tubes,
(abt 20 yrs) am in need of a little direction. i checked & replaced
bad tubes, verified b+ v. 2 problems, may be related??? on top band,
very poor reception, & when u adj ant. control, u hit a spot that
causes oscellation or motorboating. prob #2...on top 2 bands, cw sigs
have a raspy note. not t9 at all. it is a high s/n rcvr 6377. kind
of neat, has spinner knobs, noise blanker, & 455 kc if brought out to
rear apron. i guess previous owner did mod, but it sure looks
factory....solder connections, etc.
would appreciate any and all guesses.
tnx, pete, k2iqk
