The problems with the AM broadcast band likely lie with that infernal band switch. I'm trying to recall which tube numbers they liked to use for the mixer oscillator tube but it's more then likely a triode-heptode of some sort, like an ECH83, or an ECH81. I have a personal dislike for most German radios, I would not pay any real dollars for one but in this case it was a gift and likely worth spending some time on. If anyone has a sudden urge to acquire a European set try a Phillips product, or possibly a Pye.
