OK, that makes sense, also it doesn't help matters any that it has a single 6.3 V pilot lamp right directly above the tuning eye tube for backlighting the tuning dial, that's kind of washing it out a little bit.
Another thing that I've noticed though (and it may be due to the radio not being properly aligned or something like that) but the tuning eye tube doesn't seem to close completely when its on a really close local station, in fact it barely moves at all even though there are like 5 or 6 fairly strong local AM stations that coming loud and clear interference free on the radio, so what would cause the lack of movement on the part of the tuning eye tube's part when it comes to trying to tune in a strong local station?
