Might there be a component that could be bad in the meter circuit on AM that I am overlooking? I love using this old radio, it's a nice clean vintage unit, and it talks quite nicely. I did a receive alignment, but didn't really change anything for the meter movement on AM. On SSB, the meter reads as it should, with audio clear and loud. The receive audio is great, clear and loud. The trouble is that on AM, when receiving a strong close range signal, the meter shows only about 3-4 "S" units. The Upper Side Band (USB) and Lower Side Band (LSB) channels are mostly used on channel 36, 37, mostly 38, 39 and 40, now a days.

I didn't really see any board number anywhere on it, but if I can locate a board number, I'll post it here on this thread. 'Sidetalk CB 1000B' Hopefully it will work ok for you as most radios at that age have some sort of filter capacitor problems. I cleaned it up, did a tuneup on it, and lined up all the crystals so they are on frequency, for the most part (this radio goes up to 27.605). I recently acquired an old Pace Sidetalk 1000B 23 channel AM/SSB base from a friend.
