Scott:
Now I'm confused. The antenna should not be connected to the volume control. The volume control has a ground, (which may be shared with other components that need to be grounded) a connection that takes the signal from the detector, and another (the wiper) that feeds a portion of the signal to the first audio amplifier tube. If you get a sound, then the audio part of the radio is OK. How loud was the sound? It should be possible to make it pretty loud.
