Hello Fellow Vintage Radio Fans

I am experiencing a problem with a Philco 40-180 that I could use some pointers and tips on to help me solve it.    The radio powers up (still using the old wax paper caps. but will change them soon).   It is very noisy probably due to the old caps and the old cardboard fine tune drum wires losing insulation.   But my problem with this radio is that I get only one station ... it's stuck.   Tuning condenser runs smooth ... with a new cord.   Oiled the bearings.   Band switch works but every band has the same station.  Push buttons do not seem to function.    Essentially, the radio receives only one station and very poorly and with lots of noise.    Where should I look to troubleshoot this problem?

Thank you,

Bill in northern California
