I cleaned switch A & B and the bandswitch carefully with contact cleaner.  Just didn't hose it down, squirted individual points just a little, using Q-tips.

Checked voltages on the tubes. 6A8G was a little low. I know resistors 17 & 32 were a little high (1270K & 1190K respectively vs 1Meg).

Trying to find why AM reception is so bad.  Any suggestions?
