Marc 508 radio

I have this transistor radio shaped like a globe and the brand is Marc, also, says Japan 508 on it. Just get static and need a diagram. Where can I get a diagram or what could be wrong?

Have no idea where you're going to find a schematic for it. But the first thing I'd do is replace all the electrolytic caps making sure you use the same values.

Well, I changed all the "lytics and still just static...goes up and down with the volume. Does this mean the rf amp is bad?

Hmmm. If it's an AM only radio, a re-alignment is fairly easy to do. I have a gut feeling the tuning cap's trimmers got knocked way off somewhere along the line.
