All I can tell you, uness you intend to do this radio yourself, step away, find a specialist and let him do it.
There is likely something like an open coil or a bad tube. A bad tube is easy but then you need spare ones to see if it is the cause and it ill cost you as you do not know which one to replace (OK, your rectifier and output are likely OK). An open coil is not something you should mess with unless you intend to get into the hobby and make it your first poject.
And...an old radio that has not been recapped, EVEN if it is working, is a ticking time bomb and should not be operated anyway.
See if there is an antique radio club in where you are, contact them, see if they can do it.

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.
