I had just a few minutes this evening, so I took out the oscillator tube to see if it might be shorted. It wasn't, so I put it back in again and turned on the radio. After tuning up and down a little I realized that the volume control was turned way down. When I turned up the volume I got faint stations on the AM band.

I stretched out my workbench antenna and did a quick and dirty "by ear" alignment, which gave me good volume. The band switch was dirty and took some careful wiggling to make contact, so I squirted it with deoxit. I'll wait until it all dries before I turn it on again make any measurements on the oscillator.

I've got more work to do, but the signs are lookin' good!
