It sounds like your set may be suffering from silver mica disease. What you describe (lots of static on AM) is the classic symptom.
What this means is, the mica capacitors in the AM IF transformers have gone bad, and will require replacement.
This, from what I have read (I've never done this repair), is not easy, but not terribly difficult if you are very careful.
