Well, even when I got the push buttons sorted, the AM still did not work. I spent a lot of time trouble shooting it. I was obviously out of practice. I quit working on the problem for about two weeks. During that time it occurred to me that if FM and SW were working then the problem is most likely the LO for AM. I checked it and it was not working. I found that the factory, YES the factory had introduced a defect that finally killed this radio. They had place the bare wire from a 1/2 watt resistor pressed against the AM LO coil. This finally wore through the thin enamel insulation. You can see this from the picture. I simply pulled back the bare wire and the AM jumped to life. Now I need to align it for frequency on the dial. I will use a frequency counter for this and a calculator that can subtract 455 from my counter reading :-)
