Was your 40-130 restored electrically as well? It should have been recapped as well as any out of tolerance resistors replaced. If that has been done, your set may need an alignment to work the way it should. Something may have gotten jolted during shipping as well. If the chassis hasn't been restored, it definitely needs to be done as these sets have a lot of rubber coated wire that needs to be replaced. the old rubber dries out and breaks away from the wire setting you up for short circuits. I have a 40-150 which I restored and use often and it is a great performer! your radio should be pretty much the same. Good luck!
