Did you try moving the band switch around when powering it up? Sometimes the switch has dirty contacts or was on Short Wave or Automatic. In that case there may not be that much reception than on Broadcast. Just a thought. Other than that make sure the tubes were all seated correctly.

Yeah.. I moved everything around.. I figured there is probably a bad tube or two in it.. I need to find someone local that has a tester. I already hit the one shop I thought that would.. but no dice.. I figure just get the caps and replace them and the wiring, get the tubes tested and replace the ones that need it.. then if I get nothing, I'll find someone good in the area.. it would still be cheaper that way after I did the recap and wiring.. I can do that much, but I would have no idea how to adjust everything that needs adjusting or measure what ever circuits that need to be measured..
