Those voltages are not really out of line. You must consider that the original voltages were taken on most likely a 5000 ohm/V meter. This will drag down the voltages quite a lot compared to a modern DMM with 1 Megohm/V.

I suggest that your poor reception problem may well be one or more of the antenna coils having an open secondary winding.
