If you're getting AM stations, but not SSB/CW, do you still get sounds when you tune across SSB stations? should sound rather 'quacky, the same as tuning across with AM selected. If so, your BFO isn't working, but did when you tapped its coil.

So have a look at the BFO first, and after that, I think this set has a separate product detector for SSB/CW which could also explain things.
