Ok,, So grounding radio Via the Ground plug on power cord had No difference.. I did notice the following..

If I put my hand over the firts RF tube the volume went way up Actually I could vary the volume by moving my hand closer and farther from top of tube. the 2nd and 3rd IF tubes behaved the same but not as load as the 1st one..

I tried to short wiper of the volume to where it connects to the Ant terminal No difference in volume..

When a antenna is hooked up to ant terminal it makes NO difference

I can only receive the one station near me.. I also tried changing the 26 tubes around in different sockets Still NO difference..

PS also have a medium hum out of speaker.. haven't adjusted the hum adjusters yet..

What to check next??
