David Bogen Tuner and Amps
#10

Yeah, I saw that video.

You wouldn't happen to know why an old series string tube radio from 1948 would have problems with not wanting to receive stations would You?

I'm asking because I have a 1948 Westinghouse Model H-182 that I picked up at a garage sale last year that I mostly recapped except for 4 paper caps and the can cap (which is the original Aerovox Dry Electrolytic can cap, which in my experience have yet to fail on me in any radio that has had one installed from the factory). 

So Westinghouse radio in spite of the replacement of the paper caps absolutely refuses to receive any stations on either AM or FM.

Any ideas as to what could be wrong with my radio?
