Getting 105V across the primaries would not be a reason not to get reception. I thought you were just interested why you have lower voltage.
I don't want to replace Terry as the main adviser in this topic, so I just give you general pointers:
1. Check that your audio is operational (you know, touch some grids, hear some buzz).
2. If you have a tracer, go see where the signal stops when you inject it in the antenna.
3. If not, then just start checking RF coils' continuity.
4. I also noticed that when you say "the tubes have been checked" and then Terry guided you some further, some of the checked tubes turned out not to be good.
5. Use generator, see where the signal stops.

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.
