Did you use a blue razor blade? The foxhole radio is tricky. Mine worked great when I finished it, but now it doesn't seem to want to. I might try swapping out the razor blade and see if that won't get it going again. You can still find blued razor blades (the one I used is for cutting carpet), but you can also take a normal blade, scuff it up and let it rust a little. You can also heat the blade to blue it yourself.
