No selectivity/Sounds like crap

I got an RCA K60 with RC-415B chassis. I recapped it and changed the drifted resistors. I rewired the magic antenna the way it's suppose to be wired. On AM I get only one or two stations. I changed the trimmer capacitor that is part of the antenna tuning circuit. Should I try retuning it or do I have weak tubes? SW comes in pretty decently at night though but I feel it's performance could be better.

Also, the speaker. It's an RL-70H6. It sounds terrible. I connected my mp3 player to the TV and Victrola audio inputs of the RC-415B chassis and it sounded quite bad. Very frequency limited. It sounded like I piped the audio through an AM modulator as it sounded very frequency limited like broadcast AM. The cone isn't too brittle, but has come mostly unglued from the perimeter of the speaker frame. Does it need to be reconed or fully glued back on the frame or is that how it's suppose to sound?

Thanks.

Jonathan
