Hi Paul,
The 6J5 probably not my first thing I'd look it. Lets try some easy troubleshooting. Take a transistor radio and set the dial at 1500kc. Place it near the 6A8 tube or the band switch. Tune the Philco between 1000kc to 1200kc. If all is well you hear the local oscillator in the transistor set. Will sound like loud hum. Do you have a signal tracer or signal generator?? What have you done to the chassis so far??
