I've had a number of FM tuners that i fixed by cleaning the tube sockets and re-aligning. I've also had a couple with bad or way off tolerance resistors in the IF strip that caused very poor gain. Would be worth checking to make sure it was assembled and tuned properly, and make sure the parts are actually still good.

The one that does not work at all, I wonder if it ever did. When you buy a HeathKit you usually don't know who built it. Hope you can get it working.

@AllAmericanFiveRadio True, so they may have messed it up something awful. I'll need to get the original documentation to go with these.

Many years ago I had the Heath on the right of your video.

@old64goat Nice! This would be a nice unit if it were working.
