This radio has an optional Module, shown
above, that can be used to allow you to play
music from your Smartphone or listen to your
local FM Station.
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".
This versatility enables the everyday use of
this radio whether or not an AM Station is
available in your area.
