Philco 70 Reception Problem

Hi Everyone:

I have a Philco 70 cathedral radio with the No. 24, 27, 47 and 80 tubes.

The radio chassis was serviced a couple of years ago. Now I get no reception on it...When I place my finger on the tuning capacitor I get a nice signal, when I let off I get nothing. The antenna lead is connected.

I am wondering what the problem may be on this chassis?

Jerry
