Ok, update. I checked the tubes, and resistors, then did a full alignment. Success!! The tuning eye is now working. The alignment is what brought it to life. Thanks you guys!

Now, a question - I am not happy with the sensitivity of the tuning eye. I think this set was designed for use with a long wire antenna. It gets fine reception, actually very good, without an antenna. But the eye only closes all the way on the absolute strongest station, unless I connect an external antenna. Is there anything I can change to increase the sensitivity of the eye tube? Maybe a different value of a resistor? ... I would just like it better if the eye closed on weaker stations.
