Well I got the filter caps replaced in this Telefunken radio, but for some reason or another it has absolutely horrible sensitivity and selectivity on AM, SW and FM, and I looked at the IF cans and they all appear to still be sealed, and I checked the tubes and the only tubes that checked bad were the output tube and the ECC85 tube in the FM Tuner which I tried subbing it out with a couple of other tubes and it didn't affect the issue any, except that subbing out the bad EL84/6BQ5 output tube made the radio louder and much more responsive audio wise but other than that the tuner isn't picking up anything hardly its not even picking up many of the higher powered AM and FM stations that are nearby.

Any ideas as to what could be the problem here?
