Crackling problem solved, but can't receive stations.

Looks correct. If the oscillator won't oscillate, the first thing to try is to reverse the connections of either the primary or the secondary of the oscillator coil. If no luck, then put them back the way you had them. If you never disconnected the oscillator coil to begin with, then leave it as connected from the factory.

The signal you inject when you make your oscillator adjustment is actually a broadcast frequency signal, not the frequency that the oscillator produces at that station location (usually 1400KC). If the oscillator isn't functioning, there will be nothing for your signal generator signal to mix with to create 455KC, that passes through the IF circuitry. You must inject the signal you use to tune the oscillator at the antenna, and it can't get through if the oscillator isn't functioning.
