Philco Model 20
#9

If you are getting white noise, it seems like everything past the detector stage is working. My guess is that you have an open winding on one of the RF coils. As Arran said, those coils are notorious for going bad due to corrosion of the fine gauge copper wire.

With the radio unplugged, you might try checking each coil winding for continuity with an ohmmeter. Here is a link to the schematic and service info for the set:
