If you are not getting any broadcast stations, I would do a quick n dirty check to see if the oscillator is functioning, using the second radio test. Place a working radio next to it, tuned to about the center of the dial, 1000 Kc, turned on and volume up. Then sweep the dial of this set. You should hear an oscillation in the working radio at the IF frequency difference, either 550-560 and/or 1450-1460 Kc, if the oscillator is functioning.
