Pushbutton #8 (far right) needs to be engaged for the broadcast band to work. Also, make sure bandswitch is set in most "counterclockwise" position. The factory loop antennas are "tapped" types, and are critical for working correctly for good reception. Position of 3-position bandswitch selection as follows: Most counterclockwise: AM broadcast, middle position: old police band (non existant anymore), far right (clockwise) limited shortwave bands. Check your factory loop antenna, it is critical for these sets to operate properly.
