It could be so many things, but my 2-B has nothing but a hiss, moving the
preselector does not help or change anything, hooking up the antenna does
nothing and no stations come in at all, just a hiss and the typical light
hum and tapping on certain parts of the radio could be heard thru the
speaker.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the read
