Radio dial moves, but AM station does not change

Hi old_coot88,

When I first read the OP's post I thought the same thing, but when he said it "stays on the same station" I took that to mean is is playing the one AM station it's "stuck" on, instead of the AM being totally dead as it would be with a bad 12BE6. Hopefully the OP will come along and clarify whether it is totally dead on AM or not
