I am restoring a Philco 17 and I have already recapped the whole radio.  The broadcast band is working fine however the SW band is not working.  I have cleaned the band switch thoroughly and I tried to inject a 1600 khz signal but did not get a tone.  I believe that I should be gettting low ohms from the antenna jack to ground and even lower when the band switch is in the SW position but I get 36 ohms with the switch in both positions.  Please see the schematic I have attached.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
