Found that the rumbling was there because of the packet switch that did not quite get back into the position after depressing the FM button. Some WD40 fixed the issue and that symptom disappeared.
Also it seems that the switch needed cleaning. I used some alcohol, and then after touching some contacts I heard some FM. I sprayed it with Deoxid D and exercised it a bit. Hopefully that will fix the issue also.
Another....well, not a problem per se, but problem nevertheless: the dial is mounted on the cabinet and is separate from the chassis. Not sure what the best way is to move it to the chassis, align the radio and then move it back without distorting the alignment.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
