Need a sense of direct on this Philco 49-475 table radio. No AM or AM PushButton; only static is heard. The FM plays satisfactory and selects all stations.
All voltages appear to be satisfacory. Any ideas out there?

Dirty switches or maybe the loop ant is disconnected. Just a few guesses.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
