Hi all.

I just finished recapping a model 40-150. Re-covered or replaced all the old cracked rubber wires, all caps replaced, tested all resistors and replaced all that were out to any degree. Powered on. No fire : + )  

But... no reception. volume is working, but no stations coming in on AM, police, or shortwave.

Can you help me with the next step to troubleshoot this?  Schematic attached.

Thanks for any help/advice you can provide.
