Could there be a wiring error perhaps? In recapping a radio it's easy to get two adjacent tie points mixed up. I'm wondering about the pushbutton assembly, normally it has to be connected for the set to work and be connected properly if it uses tuned circuits and switches, normally these electric push buttons connect between the antenna and oscillator stages. Does this set use a loop antenna or does it have a proper antenna coil? Have you tried the set on short wave with an external antenna?
Regards
Arran
