The 12DT8 or 12AT7 FM convertor tube seems to be a common failure point on AM/FM sets...somewhere I read that because many sets switch off the B+ to the FM tube but leave the filament on when the set is on AM, that is bad for the tube...people probably listened to more AM on the sets in the 50's/60's and the FM tube deteriorated.
