You mentioned "most of the time I can't get a station to come in." Does that mean that sometimes you CAN receive stations?

A few options come to mind. First, are you in a weak signal area where an antenna problem could result in *NO* reception?

How about the voltage at the radio's terminals? Is it up to par? (12v +).

In the 'no reception' mode are you hearing noise at plenty of volume?

The early 70s were particularly bad years for anything that has the name Philco.
