Bad Transformer?
#34

Well, I am lucky: though I do have 4 or 5 stations, fairly weak, they'd be of no much interest to me otherwise, but one station is local, in Lakewood NJ, and is called "good times oldies" or something to that effect; it is off the chart strength-wise, and I barely rotate the volume to have my speaker booming. It plays mostly rock-n-roll, 40-s, 60-s, 70-s and it's great music, and clear enough to listen to.

Before I even repaired it I was afraid of the same predicament - I know AM is fairly deserted these days, when everyone seems to be on the UHF FM.
But I guess, God in his infinite grace decided to plat an AM Station in Lakewood, few miles from me, just to reward me for my sufferings. Icon_mrgreen

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.
