Hey PT57--Iam in the process of finishing my 40-130----the chassis and recapping is done, and with the antenna on the radio cabinet back connected the radio is a very good receiver--no problem whatsoever of picking up stations all across the band--you should not need an external antenna ! think you have got some circuit problems sorry to say---you may want to see if recapping was completely done, and that all tubes are good----some folks on ebay are only interested in minimal work on radios that they market
