That's good to know. I hope the new tubes get your Hoffman console's radio working again. If you can hear a slight hiss on FM, and you hear a slight change in that hiss when you touch the FM antenna terminals with a screwdriver or anything metal, all is not lost.
As I said, the new tubes should restore normal operation; if not, I don't know what else could be causing the problem. If there is no reception on both AM and FM, and new tubes do not get things going again, the problem must be in a part of the radio (other than tubes) which is common to both bands. I've been away from electronics too long (I had to give up my workshop when I moved from my former home to an apartment over 20 years ago) to be able to offer any further advice.
