I took IF cans apart and cleaned rust off of the screws. The mica washers looked fine. Put them back together.
I'm getting WLW which is only 3.5 miles from here. I believe I got the coil right, the station is in the right place on the dial.
The audio is really weak, even with an external antenna connect to wires wrapped around the antenna coil. I have replaced all the tubes except the rectifier.
Any suggestions?

A photo below, the antenna coil runs off the photo on the left.
