I would suspect that the oscillator isn't running. Easy way to confirm whether it is is to use another radio (sm transistor set is handy). Set the Philco dial @ 100 (1000kc) and set the transistor set @ 1460kc. Position it near the #36 tube nearest to the ant post. Turn both on and listen to the transistor set for a loud hiss while tuning it around a bit. In a perfect world the signal should be @ 1460kc but it may be off a bit. The osc frequency = frequency of the dial + the IF frequency (1000kc+460kc= 1460kc)
If you adjust the sensitivity capacitor on the back of the chassis can you get it to squeal from the speaker?

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
