Well I think I figured out what the problem is, it was a bad 58 Tube in the front-end section (the 1st Detector tube), and I figured out that it was one of the 58 tubes that was bad (and specifically the 1st Detector tube) because when I put my hand over the grid cap of the 1st Detector tube the radio came in loud and clear but as soon as I removed my hand the radio went silent. So now I need to locate a NOS 58 Tube for the radio and I think that should get it going again.
