No, I don't have the adapters. Would have to work something out!

They can be broadcast to the radio using a small AM transmitter I have at hand, or better yet using a Squeezebox network player and the tape/pick-up inputs of the radio.

Also, the Squeezebox can be used to receive internet broadcasts from around the word. Should be awesome to listen to them via the Opus 7. Talk about the best of both worlds: the classic tube sound of a vintage hi-fi radio plus the ability to listen to Internet radio streams!
I do this with my low power FM transmitter. I bring up the big band/swing stations on the internet and listen to them on the antique (and reproduction) radios around house. I've found old time radio shows with Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and more along with comedy, drama, sci fi. It's cool to listen to them on the radio again. Shoutcast.com has several of the big band/swing stations.

Geee...this should be interesting as I will be picking up my Opus 7 next week. I had the caps changed and gave it a minor tune up. Can't wait to hear it. When I bought it I was afraid to power it up w/o having it checked out fisrt. I hope to use it in my office.Sounds like the only difference in the 6 or 7 is audio adjustments if I read this thread correctly.
