I remember playing around with two radios to get AM stereo in the 1980s here
in the U.S. If I tuned each of them just right, I could get pretty decent
stereo between them.

Some of your AM stations are now broadcasting using HD.
I know someone who has a Sangean HDR16 HD radio and he has forwarded me
recordings of HD sound from AM which doesn't sound too bad.
It sounds as though Am Stereo tuners were as different as standard tuners
were.
I had one which I built from a kit which was extremely sensitive whilst my
Sony tuner was as deaf as a doorpost.

Dane,
My old Carver TX 11A or 11B or whatever it was could receive Stereo AM of
this quality. They even had a 10KHZ notch filter to avoid hearing that tone
if it was generated by an adjacent station in the United States. I suspect
they had models to filter out the 9 KHZ tone in much of the rest of the
world. The biggest gripe I had with my Carver tuner was that it was not
very sensitive on AM. It also had a very nice FM section in it as well with
some interesting noise cancelling options.
While we don't have stereo AM in the United States any longer, there are
still AM stations with very nice audio that use a fairly wide bandwidth.
However, the audio on AM now is very much limited by the bandwidth used by
most radios of today, and I understand that the need isn't as strong as it
once was with streaming and other options.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

For those who have never heard the sound of Stereo AM before? Enjoy.
For those who lived through the period of Stereo AM and who owned a Stereo
AM tuner or radio? Sit back and remember.
I found this sample of Stereo AM - from radio station 3MP in Melbourne - on
Youtube.
I’d love to know what type of tuner this recording was made from as the band
width is quite wide.
My Sony tuner was capable of this but only after it had been adjusted.
Anyway hear for yourself.
