Where is the trimmer on this AM radio and how can I adjust it? My AM reception has always been weak and I was thinking about that while I had it out to replace my wiper shaft seals. |

I dont believe those work on AM, but Id rather get what I have working its best rather than cover up the problem with something that doesnt belong there. |

They work with any signal received to your radio by antenna, I got one installed in my car, and never got weak signal when I decide to listen to radio. |

Anyone got a factory manual they can scan for info on the trimmer pot? Thanks for the booster suggestion, but Id really rather fix the problem properly. |

Don't know if this helps you any but on the ancient AM/FM radio in my 66 C-10 the antenna trimmer is located on the backside of the radio. I can lay on the floor board and tunr the trimmer with my fingernail. I don't know if you can get to it that easy in cramped A-body however. |
