I enjoy old radios very much but have found the best receiver for rejecting adjacent channel interference on FM is a Sony Digital Tuning mini-stereo system. There is a 10-watt public radio translator on 99.5 that I like to listen to. It is about 30 miles away, and there are 100,000 watt stations on 99.1 and 99.9. The Sony digital tuning can pull in the 10 watt station almost noise free, using a dipole antenna outside the window, when other radios get swamped by the 100 kw stations. It has been my experience that digital tuners seem to have the best FM selectivity.
Also a Panasonic digital tuner boom-box can get the 10 watt station much better than the analog tuner sets I have tried.

The absolute BEST for AM I have seen is the Philco AM-FM 8-track unit in my 1978 Grand Marquis. It can pull in a station on 580 khz from 150 miles away during the day where other radios struggle with noise on it. You can rig up an old car radio with a 12-v supply for super quality AM reception.
