Most table model radios of that vintage had a coiled loop antenna
mounted on the fiberboard back of the radio. If one end of that coil is
no longer connected to the radio, reception would be poor. Or...most of
those radios had poor sensitivity and the orientation of that loop
antenna made a lot of difference in the reception. Try rotating the
radio left and right to see if you get a better signal.

I love them - they look great even if you didnt' have optimum setup.
I have a 1950's Sylvania clock radio - it actually gets reception, though not
very good :-)

Have you tried wrapping the case in copper wire Ann? I've also used a coat
hanger at times. ;)
