You can try blowing all the old dust & debris out of the tuning condenser on the chassis. Sometimes, a dirty tuning-condenser causes the reception probs you described. Try a spray-can of air cleaner used for computers,etc. avail at walmart,etc. If the set hasnt been recapped & properly serviced & aligned, its time for your radio to get a full electronic overhaul by a qualified tech, or by help reading these forums pages to help you do it yourself.
