Have you tested the generator to see if work? Set the band switch to the band that cover the broadcast band. Set modulation for internal (this will give you a 400cy tone) Set rf output for max. Set the frequency on the generator to 1400kc and tune a working receiver to the same.Connect the generator output(cable on the right)to the antenna post of the receiver. If it is working you will hear a 400cy in your receiver.
If you want to eject a signal into the IF,though a small cap hook it to the plate of mixer tube. Be careful as there is HV at this point
You may want to deal with the hum problem first.
