Do you have a schematic?  Have you tested and/or subbed the tubes?  Have you checked element voltages?  Have you recapped the chassis or done other restoration work?  What kind of antenna are you using?  Maybe you need a better antenna.  We could use more information to be able to help in more detail.

Details of the radio needed
work your way back from the audio section with a signal tracer.
Look for bad soldering, old solder joint, broken trace or wire. Put a transistor radio alongside and have both units playing. Then slowly tune the frequency of the transistor radio from one end to the other end. If you don't get a squeal in the other set, you may need to inspect the oscillator/mixer section. Possibly bad RF or IF can with coil winding disturbed.


Most likely an RF section that needs to be tested.
