But apart from my comments above the next thing I would do is obtain the service information for the radio and let us know which one you got. (there are several publishers of service information, apart from the manufacturer the "Trader" service manuals are quite good.)
Your radio is one of the early ones and the transistors in it are normally very reliable. But with transistor sets of this age it is often the electrolytic capacitors that can cause problems.
Sometimes these electrolytics can reform and and the radio may start to work on its own after a few minutes or an hour or so.
It would seem that the final audio stages of the radio are working, so after checking some of the voltages and comparing with the information in the service manual, my first suspect to check would be C31 (Trader) a 100uF electrolytic, which is decoupling the RF and IF sections of the radio..
