Montgomery Wards models are notoriously hard to pin down because there were so many OEM's making stuff for them. I can usually get them working, and many times another manufacturer's chassis is very close. But I can never find schematics specifically for Montgomery Wards because they didn't make any of their own chassis.
Do the tube filaments glow? Have you changed all the capacitors? Does it make any sound?

Do he tube filaments glow? Have you tested or replaced them? How about the capacitors? Have they been replaced or are they original? Usually, the capacitors in old radios are bad, and many times one or more tubes are too. Sometimes the tubes are good but capacitors are almost always bad in radios older than about 50 years.
