I know that this reply is kinda late (OP was Feb 28), but more recently
I came across an excerpt from the schematic: http://www.radioscanner.ru/uploader/2006/icfsw30.djvu As one can see, the MW frontend is quite simple, similar to e.g. the ICF-7601. Possible causes of no AM but everything else working thus could be: * One wire of the antenna coil L16 (or the center tap) has become disconnected. Should be relatively easy to check. * No LO output. Use another rx to check for the LO het 450 kHz above nominally received frequency. If this is not present, it's either a problem with the LO or the PLL (for which I don't have a schematic). * Dead MW mixer. This is not unlikely given the sudden appearance of the problem (which frequently indicates a semiconductor defect) and would be toughest to fix, requiring replacement of the CX20111 (a 24-pin SOP part). It looks like this chip was produced at least until 2000 and is still obtainable.
