Hi Archie and Welcome to the group!
That's a really a tough question. It would probably require a good going over on the work bench. It could be anything from a bad connection to a dirty bandswitch. There are a few quick things you can try which might point you in the right direction. Try tuning in the AM broadcast station and then touch the cap on top of the #78 rf amp tube. Does it get louder? Try the same on the #77mixer tube. Get louder? Double check the tubes to see if they are in the right places as you set uses a bunch of 77's and 78's. If they are mixed up the set will play but maybe not so well.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
