One big difference between the Superstar and this one. That radio has a double-conversion receiver on AM and FM modes. It's single conversion in SSB. This means that the radio has a whole separate section for AM. Things can go bad in that part of the radio without affecting SSB receive.

But his radio has a simpler receiver setup. AM and sideband both travel through the exact same circuits. A diode fault like that one should cause trouble for both, not just for AM.

Probably.
