help on Philco 37-600 wont pick up stations after re-cap
#1

when I bought the radio it had a very loud hum but I could still pick up about 3 stations.
I replaced caps and replaced caps inside blocks. there are 3 of them. new power cord. new rectifier tuber, power cord.
now when I turn it on loud hum is gone but now I cannot pick up any stations. just hear very low hum and no static and nothing happens when I turn the volume up or down. have a 5 foot antenna wire.
don't know what happened but as I changing out the caps I tested the radio before I moved on to the next cap. when I finally replaced the last electronic condenser part number twin 4mf and 8mf philco part number 30-2149 . this was the last part and now I cannot pick up stations. any help is greatly appreciated.
