I can tell you for sure that the magic eye on the VHF61 always works far more efficiently on VHF/FM than it does on AM, so if yours is working the other way round then I'd suspect a fault within the set that still needs tracking down. However, now you're going to make up an aerial you'll have to see how it goes with that.

Poor long wave is usually down to an ageing ECH81 valve.
