What is the signal source? There is no over the air analog broadcast TV anymore (stopped in ~2009-2012). If you don't have a DTV/cable/satellite box, DVD player, VCR etc connected to the set, then you will not receive anything.

That is a pre-WWII TV they are scarcer than hen's teeth, and worth more than BOTH my cars combined...Treat it carefully. Also, that set predates the 1941 NTSC standard, IIRC channel numbers don't jibe with all other sets made between July 1941 and 2009. Sound was AM on these sets, but FM in NTSC....There were/are ways around these issues that hopefully the restorer properly applied.

I wish I could be more specific but like most TV collectors I've never worked on anything prewar.

These sets are sort of like Stanley Steam Cars: If you don't know how to fix it/operate it, and can't pay someone who knows how to help, then you're better off selling it, or not using it.
