You might try pulling the antenna and oscillator coils, and baking them in an oven for 15 minutes or so, at a temperature not exceeding 180 degrees. Worth a try. Moisture can do strange things to coils...might not help, but then again, it might.

While I have mentioned before that I am not exactly enthusiastic about Model 60 sets in general, I really don't know why you would have trouble receiving a strong local on the low end of the band.

Good luck, Ron.
