Sounds like a symptom similar to what I saw on my Model 60 when I first started working on it. No reception via the antenna terminal but received signals if I touched the mixer grid cap. Turned out to be an open winding in the antenna coil as Ron suggested. Make a resistance measurement of the antenna and RF amp plate coils to see if there is an open winding.
