A simple test would be to measure pin7 voltage on AM when not tuned into a station. Personally I think the EM81 and resistor are fine, but happy to be corrected.

Could you maybe try the set outdoors or in a different location? Also, the FM aerial in this set, if I remember correctly,is a simple ribbon attached to the back panel. The "in cabinet" aerial is for AM. You don't need the cabinet to plug the FM aerial in, just the back panel. You ought to try it with its own FM aerial
