Great news!
The radio works now fully.
The tube I suspected of wrongdoing happened to be bad indeed. Probably lost emission.
Once I replaced it, my antenna circuit started working and I no longer receive only one station, but the whole gamut of them - bunch of news, music, and - yes - commercials
Small grief compared to the joy of listening to the radio .
All in all, two tubes were bad: one is the Push-pull 71A, and another one - 24A, one of the three. The rest seems to be fine - I replaced All 24A to see if there's a change in reception - there's none. (And I do not have tester, so at this point this is the way for me to test them).
Time to try to change them capacitors

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
