Now the modern AM radio's I buy are all crap, esp
car radio's. They can not pull in stations, for nothing.

That's why I have a 60,000(original miles from the aunt) 1983 Dodge Omni. Well,
that's not why, she gave it to me, but it has an AC Delco radio in it, that has
either five or six (I think five) preset push-buttons.

But they aren't 'buttons'..they're slants (I call them, real thin.) That is one
good AM car receiver. I don't know if it has a tube in it, I wouldn't think.
But when you turn it on, the backlight will come on but the sound won't for
about five seconds, and it says that in the original radio manual in the glove
compartment. The one speaker is directly above it, all I need, a good DXer for
a cruise.

It has just two knobs, but the on/off/volume knob also has a pull-out
attenuator which works like a dream. My suggestion is, if you're truly wanting
a good AM radio (I don't do music-so loss of FM isn't a biggie) go to a 'good
reputable' junkyard and get you one that is strictly just for the BCB.

The one up here where I live, actually two of them,as soon as you walk in they
have hundreds that they've pulled and have in a glass cabinet. They don't cost
that much either and your problem is solved.;-)
