This is an old classical guitar, it might be up to seventy years old. It buzzes with every note but it's the loudest on the G string. Please help.

With instruments that old there might be many reasons: action too low, uneven frets, degraded nut... The best thing you can do is bring it to a professional luthier. A good one can find what's your problem in 2 minutes and fix it.

Since that's a classical guitar something you can try for free is tightening the tuner pegs: there should be a screw holding the gear wheel and if it's loose try to tighten it with a screwdriver BE GENTLE, DON'T OVERDO IT.
If you're lucky it might be it, otherwhise do as I said earlier and bring it to a luthier.
