There is an antenna with obviously an AM and FM section. One is a round thing that you tack up to something (that is what I did on the side of the stereo enclosure ) and a long wire. FM works great. I am guessing the long wire is the AM. When listening to ANY AM station there is electronic interference to where the station is almost inaudible. The power for the stereo is plugged in well away from the wire. I pulled the wire out and moved it around and still the interference.
By the way, I had asked some time ago how the old stereo was fastened. Thought it was glued but in fact they just drove a couple of Roberts head screws (same as used everywhere else) up through the bottom of the shelf into the outside of the stereo chassis.
Any ideas/tips? Like to listen to AM radio (I grew up on it and my favorite stations are AM).

How did it turn out? I’m emotionally invested in the problem/diagnosis lol I’m one of those people that need to find out what was wrong. Did you get a chance to isolate the interference?
