[captainclock1988]

Greetings everyone, I had acquired from a local garage sale through Facebook Marketplace in the middle of last year a 1948 Westinghouse 1821 (182 according to Riders) Chassis Number V-2128 that for some reason or another won't pick up any stations on either the AM or FM Band and I checked the tubes and they all seemed to test fine, and I replaced almost all of the paper caps in this set except for 5 of them (which i didn't have them on hand at the moment) and the filter cap can I left in place because it was one of those Aerovox Dry Electrolytic Cans that I have yet to have one fail on me yet because my Philco 116B I have has 3 of them on its chassis and all 3 of them still work without any problems and I also have a 1942 Zenith 10S690 radio that also has one that is still good yet and I also had a 1932 Westinghouse Tombstone Radio that had some in them and they still worked on that as well, and This Westinghouse H-1821 has one as well and it doesn't have any hum to it yet either.

Anyways this Westinghouse H-1821 absolutely refuses to receive any stations whatsoever on either AM or FM its absolutely dead silent, and I don't know why it would be doing that. Odd part is, I had an old Philco 46-1203 AM Radio/Record player combo unit that the record player part worked perfect yet on its original crystal cartridge but the radio part wouldn't receive any radio stations and I couldn't figure out what was causing it to not recive radio signals, and so I scrapped it out, but this Westinghouse is doing the same thing as my old Philco 46-1203 did on me, except that this radio has the addition of an FM band that also isn't receiving signals.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I could look for as far as what might be causing this radio to not recieve any signals?

thanks for your help in this matter.
