Broadcast Stations
One of the problems for
collectors of vintage radios is that there are very few AM Stations
left in North America. As a result many valuable radios sit
idle. There radios are designed to be operated on a daily basis. To
enable daily use Old Fidelity adds a module, hidden on the back of
the radio, that allows the radio to play FM Stations as well as
music on a smart phone via Bluetooth. The module is accessed via a
switch on the back of the radio. Once the radio is in the module
mode, you can choose from FM or Bluetooth using the module switch.
When using the module the radio's on-off
switch, volume and tone controls are fully active. The signal
strength can also be adjusted by controls on the module. The great
value of this set up is that you can use this radio on a daily basis
to seamlessly play your local FM Station. When you turn the radio
off, using only the radio's on-off control, while playing an FM
Station, it will continue playing that FM Station when you turn the
radio back on. You only need to touch the module if you want to
change FM Stations. This is done by the module control labeled
"FREQ".
