I do not see the sch of this radio on Nostalgiaair, so I do not know exactly what's there, but:
If it does have more than one RF stage, check the 1st one (well, all of them) for tubes and RF coils integrity.
There could be enough signal land tuning left with one stage bad; I had that problem on my black dial Zenith. Worked fine, but sensitivity was down.
Start with ohming coils, checking tubes, measuring voltages on RF stages.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
