I made one other assumption - that the radio is working properly. A
power line spike caused by lightening may have wiped out the first
amplification stage. Has the problem always been present?

Will it work properly in a wood frame building?

How far away is(are) the station(s) and what is in the way? VHF and
high frequencies are line-of-sight. 20-30 miles may be all as good as
it gets with no proper antenna - with a good antenna in a good
location that same signal could be good for 100+ miles.

Put it on a ground floor surrounded by tall buildings, hills, or other
obstructions and you will need an antenna mounted where it can catch
some of the signal.

Not a concern with AM radio as a rule.

It is likely a location problem - type of building or surroundings are
attenuating the signal too much.
