Most American made radios use fairly straightforward circuits...especially the 5 tube AM radios. Just a working knowledge in general of the circuits is sufficient to troubleshoot most problems....usually just a replacement of old caps and wiring gets the sets going.
The only ones that seem to be more complicated/difficult or use more unusual tubes are some of the foreign makes like Grundig or Telefunken. The performance on these sets is great...they just can be more difficult to work on.
