Congratulations.
What is it that you have finished? (I understand it is a radio, and it is a Philco).
1. Without the model......a)you have not, probably, aligned it yet. b) it is possible you have some RF interstage transformers open, so even though you receive, you might not get the amplification intended.
Other reasons might exist.
2. Same thing. Alignment first.
Also: have you checked your tubes to make sure they are good tubes and not duds?
