Do you see any numbers under the phono similar to what's described here?

I think everyone here at AK is happy to answer beginner questions. At least they've been patient with mine.
If you didn't hook up an external antenna and the internal antenna wasn't connected, it's unlikely you would have received any FM stations. But, it probably at least needs recapping.
In a metal radio of the same vintage that I recapped, I checked the paper capacitors after replacing them. One out of the six that were in this simple radio were good. The others were shorted.
