Found mine at a flea market with a giveaway price as only the AM worked.  Cosmetically it is near perfect.  Started with the tubes and found 3 that were marginal/bad.  Replaced those 3 and it worked perfectly (and still does today). Picks up lots of stations.  Simplest fix I have come across yet!  It was a while ago and I don't remember the tubes I replaced.  Sure wish this model had a dial light.
