The LW problem is around V1. It is either the oscillator side or the aerial input side. Probably caps.

Going off the Ace circuit, on the Aerial side, change all the little caps. C1, C2, C3 and C4. On the oscillator side, C8 and C11. Clean the wavechange switch.

It may need a bigger antenna.

Try changing the AGC caps, especially C13. And if you haven't done already, C24.

Cheers,
