I have run across a few *shorted orig antennas* before on radios of this vintage, and a few that had broken wire(s) upon close inspection. Also, have you "peaked" the IF cans adjustment screws for max performance? Sometimes that will bring the volume up tremendously on a out-of-alignment set previously serviced by someone that didnt know how to do so.
