Hi JB
There is a separate one-turn loop for the "police" band and shortwave; it is mounted under the top of the cabinet, above the chassis, and has two wires. One connects to a screw on the side of the tuning condenser frame; the other connects to screw number 3 on the antenna terminal board.
If this loop is not connected, you will have no reception on police or shortwave.
Other things to try if it is present and connected, in this order:
* Clean the band switch. It may be dirty.
* Check the 7J7 tube (or 6J8G in some models); it may be oscillating on the AM band, but not the higher frequencies.
* The oscillator coil may be faulty.
Good luck.
