Hi OSanders,
Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. Try the shortwave and preset bands. Use Caig DeOxit D5 to clean the contacts. The stuff is not cheap, but it works very well on switches. (Do not use it on volume controls; use DeOxit F5 fader lube instead.)
If you do not have a signal generator, you can use another radio. Tune the radio to a station that you can (or could have) receive on both sets. Have the sets close to each other with shields on the convertor tubes (if there are any) removed. u can (or could have) received on both sets. Tune the radio in question through the band. at some point, equal to the set frequency of the good radio + the IF frequency of the radio in question, you should hear changes in the signal on the good radio. If this occurs, the oscillator stage is working.
