Can anyone give me a hint on what to do with my VHF70?

MW performance is quite lively but LW disappointing. Radio4 only gives modest volume at full setting and spreads over quite a range of the tuning dial. I don't get any sign of the European stations that are usually even stronger than Radio4.

The Service sheet gives very sketchy alignment information and it appears on LW to be only adjustment of the oscillator to get alignment with the tuning dial. The good performance on MW that has also much better selectivity suggests there is nothing much astray.

Thanks in hope

John
