Ok to everything said previously. The heterodynes however, could be caused by second-channel interference. This may point to badly aligned aerial trimmers or O/C caps in the aerial circuit. I don't have info on the I F frequency to hand but if it has a low I F (120khz or so) there is probably an I F filter which may need a tweak, but check general alignment first.
