I'm at the point where everything I touch turns to s**t! Icon_confused

I've got a simple Airline model 4705 . Just a simple 6 tube AM radio. Replaced all caps. Tubes and resistors checked OK. Alignment done. Everything is fine except I only get one station . It is WGN, 720 from Chicago (about 40 miles away). It comes in on any dial position. Icon_eek

It is just as strong at 55khz as it is at 1600khz.

Any clues as to where to start?

Thanks guys,
