I have a little 6 tube Philco and I get quite a lot of stations. I also have high tension wires right behind my house. Try to pick up some stations that may be lower power in your area, like about 5k watts. If these are not coming in something is up. Alignment is a good bet. Are the tubes strong? Can you test them or swap them with known good ones?

Keep at it.
