warren.....antenna connection is very important on this radio for local and long distance reception. I think that I mentioned if the chassis is in the cabinet then hook up the loop am antenna leads connecting the white wire to terminal 1 and the black wire (ground) to terminal 2 then try your stations....then switch black wire to terminal 3 and try that.....if the chassis is out of the cabinet then try making a large loop antenna out of aligator clips and connect as described above. Also have you cleaned out the tuning capacitor fins with contact cleaner.
