It sounds like you need to tune down further, or up. Start by turning the tuning peg all the way down until the string is almost slack. Gradually tune up to pitch. It sounds like you might be missing the B because you didn't start low enough.

It's possible that the string is so old that it won't settle into a stable desired pitch. Or that something is wrong with the bridge.

You might want to take it to a local guitar shop! Hope that helps!
