If you are receiving NO signals other than maybe some spurs, etc, check to make sure the oscillator is working. You should be able to hear it in an adjacent radio tuned 455kc higher than the dial frequency. My 42-327 refused to work on SW and finally became wonky on BC as well and it turned out to be a bad mica cap in the osc circuit.

Even with the antenna connections incorrect you should hear *some* SW-BC around 6-7 Mc at night.
