Default National NC-183D HELP

Hi
I just got a National NC-183D Receiver
It was sitting for a few years.
I turned it on and it seems the RF gain is low.
As you turn up the RF gain nothing is heard til you
get up to to the number 8 on dial.
So no receive until you turn dial up to 8 and I turn it up to 10,
I hear signals on AM SSB fine. But need to get the RF gain higher
so signals come in stronger.
The glass tubes seem to be on.
Can it be the tubes or something else?
It seems to receive all bands but 40 Meters.
Thanks for reading
