OK, well a little update on this radio, I was able to locate some replacement tubes for this radio and I popped them into the radio and its still acting much the same as it did before, Its pulling in stations but I have to have the volume turned clear up to even hear anything, and I'm starting to think I might have a bad antenna coil because no matter what I hook up to the antenna lead on this radio nothing seems to affect the radio's reception, the radio will pick up signals from my signal generator by hooking the signal generator through the grid cap of the 1st Detector Tube but going through the antenna lead doesn't seem to do anything. I had to do a partial replacement of the Antenna wire lead because the original wire lead for the antenna was broken through the insulation and had some wire exposed right around where the antenna wire exited the chassis. Also would an out of alignment IF cause the radio to not pick up much in the way of stations and cause the stations that do come in to hardly be audible? I'm asking because even though the IF alignment capacitor covers on the chassis were still intact and appear to of not been fiddled with in the past doesn't preclude the idea that someone didn't mess with them in the past but probably put the covers back on the IF Alignment capacitor holes so that the radio would be complete.
