It's a simple wish - just a lousy stock AM radio

My 70 Burb came with it's original non -working AM radio. I bought another one at a swap meet a couple of weeks ago and asked if it worked. The answer was "I don't know for sure but I think so". Put it in to find out that the translation for I don't know but I think so is really "no way is that thing going to work". Bought another one off flea bay from a retired electrical engineer who dabbles in old car radios. Put that one in and Walla! It worked. Unfortunately only for about 8 miles. Contacted the seller and sent it back to him to see if it can be repaired. Now instead of looking at a dead radio face, I am just looking at the holes in the dash. On the bright side, I can change out the radio in about 2-3 minutes.
Just a rant of sorts.
