I just picked up a T-240D with the exact same problem ie. Great TX very low RX. I havent had time to check the tubes yet but I suspect that it is probably an alignment problem. I picked up the Sams manual with the RX alignment info for the radio and Im about to work on mine. If your still responding to this thread I will post the alignment info and maybe we can exchange some notes and get these things receiving.

Note: Tools needed for Alignment are: Signal Generator through a .01uf cap to the antenna jack and a set of plastic alignment tools GC numbers:
9440, 8276, 5000, 5009, 8278, 8282, 8606, and 9302 or the ones you have and whittle the rest from bamboo cooking skewers like I do.
