Default Sony ICF-SW1 'overloading' on FM?

My Sony ICF-SW1 seems to be easily 'overloaded' by spatter from Radio 1 and Classic FM. The previous owner said he'd replaced the faulty electrolytics but not sure if it was all 6 capacitors and what spec the replacements were. Could this affect FM performance? The aerial is damaged with the top section or two missing, could that contribute?

I'm asking as I'm not sure if this overloading is normal on SW1s or whether mine has an issue that's affecting sensitivity/selectivity.
