Now the interesting thing is that I had a late 1940s vintage Westinghouse AM/FM Radio (a Model H-1821) that had a similar problem (no signal being picked up on either AM or FM) and I tried replacing several of the IF, RF and Audio tubes and even recapped and replaced all out of tolerance resistors and nothing fixed the issue, (I suspected that either one of the oscillator coils was bad or a bad antenna coil or maybe a bad IF can, but either way the radio was a total loss so I just salvaged the cord, pilot light and the tubes from the unit and scrapped it out, because if it was one of the IF cans or coils that was bad there was no way I would of found replacements for it as they were an oddball style of coils and cans.)
So with that in mind, and I hope that isn't what's wrong with your radio, but I would check the antenna or oscillator coils first and then if those check out then check the IF cans.
