Dale This set doesn't have a loop ant in the cabinet. Generally that didn't happen till 1940.

You need to finish servicing the chassis BEFORE you can expect anything to work. Trying to troubleshoot before the service is a waste of time. If this was 60yrs ago and the set was 10yrs old then it might be different but it isn't.

Circa 1966
