First guess is something with your antenna.

I'm thinking the AM/FM selector switch, or some circuitry right behind that in the radio. If the radio actually plays AM and FM stations, it's whatever selects between the two decoding circuits that is at fault.

It might be less expensive to get a new aftermarket, or try your luck at Ebay or a junkyard.
