Classic symptom of an open antenna loop or antenna coil in the front end. Check continuity on the AM loop section of the plug-in loop assy and also coils #4 and #5 in the schematic for continuity. Be sure to check the coil taps too. Bandswitch contacts or grundgy bandswx phenolic are also #1 or #2 on the list as well.
