Well he said his signal indicator works so that should point to
something wrong from the AM detector stage to the speaker. IF the ole
S-meter is moving means the circuits from the antenna to the AM
detector is working to some degree.


I don't know if it's possible to still hear static when the detector
is bad, but I suppose it's possible. Either that or the receiver is
horribly out of alignment.
