Hi folks!. I live in Long Island NY. I own 2 recently thoroughly restored Pioneer SX 1980, and 1280. The problem is no sound coming out of the AM section in both of them. On the other hand, it’s hard to find a reputable service technician up here in the NY/NJ area who’s very knowledgeable about repairing the tuning issue on these sets.
If there is any other Pioneer owners who have had this AM/FM issue before and knows anyone in the NY/NJ surrounding area please let me know. I’d be sincerely grateful. Good luck in all of your projects.

Check the continuity or the AM loopstick antenna. There should be low resistance between each lead and at least 1 other lead.
The wires can break from movement of the antenna.

Thanks Rayma and Stocktrader. That may be the answer. I agree that this is a very strange matter. I’ll check up those swivel antennas on the back of em.
“Who uses AM radio anymore?”, right?
Wasn’t there some big stink about wanting to take AM and FM out of new car radios?
