I will clean as u suggested, but I do get some local stations when I switch to Broadcast, it’s just that many of the AM stations can not be found and those that do come in are at lower volume. I had this issue with another Philco 40-180 and it turned out to be an alignment issue. However, on this particular 40-180, I can’t even find the signal from the signal generator so, as a result, can’t really perform the alignment.

I’ve been hesitant to turn the compensators too, too much, during the alignment process as I’ve heard horror stories of “rookies” trying to align a radio, only to so badly misalign it they can get any stations back. I will maybe be a bit more aggressive in my search for the 580 and 1400 signal.
