That VCR converter is interesting, I'm going to build that compact DIY converter , will update on results later. I'm interested in DIY as can be put in a small box and tucked behind my Brewster tuner set. Your posts are good W2ISE, PLEASE REPLY TO pm.

It appears there was a lot of interest in early FM 15 to 20 years ago. Several old articles done including the well laid out one I mentioned. Not too much as of recently? Perhaps more of an old timers wanting to rig these for use. Never heard anyone using a prewar restored fm radio.

ONLY saw one at old friends house 8 years ago, he has since passed away. The power transformer was bad as I checked it for him 20 years ago. It sat in their living room as a fine piece of furniture as had fancy cabinet with matching burl grain doors. I remember wanting to see set run, knowing the FM was probaly obsolete. Had weird ultra futuristic gray plastic and metallic knobs and look of benzel. Made radio look more like a 50s or late s 50s set. Definetely 1941, had only obsolete band, saw ad for exact set somewhere in Life magazine- full page.

Have since early FM interests me. These sets must of been rare in general. Most must of been scrapped. Pic of Brewster tuner set restored by someone as older project. original cabinet in very good shape which doesn't show age of 70 years.

if anyone else using prewar fm please post pics!
