I wonder if it received lightning damage or someone accidentally transmitted into it? Perhaps an open coil where the antenna is coupled into the rf amp tube or maybe an open if coil. Some work with a signal tracer will probably locate the problem. I used to take a small capacitor maybe a .01 and jump across coils and see if the signal jumps up. If it does you found a bad one. Of course a schematic would help lots if you can find one. Good luck and 73, WB5OXQ
