Easiest way is to patch audio from the FM tuner into the audio amp of the Pye.....If you got clever (and were using a SS FM tuner) you could power it off the Pye (perhaps by tapping into the heater string), and possibly add a gear to the stock tuning cap shaft and gear the FM tuner's cap to it.

Another option is to look for a Pilot FM tuner and hook that to it.
