Jamie, if everything else checks out, do a full alignment. The AVC voltage is dependent on having enough gain in each stage to produce the rectified IF signal voltage at the detector. If the gain is low you may get some reception but not enough to generate sufficient AVC voltage.
So anything that reduces the reserve gain of the receiver like weak tubes, off value resistors, or misalignment will cause what you are experiencing.
