If it is out of the car, take the lid off the radio. Power it up with a speaker attached. Put your finger on the inside conductor for the antenna connection. Tune it to the nearest radio station and it should hear it. That will eliminate the antenna and cable in the car.
If that does not produce results, the radio needs to go to someone like BigmoneyLewis for repair.
In the Hudson valley, you should be able to get AM radio on your fillings.

What's the antenna trimmer screw?
I think it's a knob or screw on the top or side of the metal case that adjusts the sensitivity of the antennae & you'd tune the dial to a station (not sure if you want a loud local one or a faint long distant one) and adj it to get the best reception
It needs to be set around 1400 khz. It is usually stamped on a sticker on the radio. I have never seen one so mistuned that no local station could be received, even when someone mistakenly tightened up the loose screw.
