I have a prewar (1941) Stromberg Carlson FM 1025M I regularly use. A good converter is an old TV tuner.
I took a 40MHz video IF video tuner and retuned the channel 6 local oscillator slightly higher to cover the lower end of the FM band. I also sweep aligned the RF stage and Mixer. It works great!
You can get an old tuner from an old TV or VCR. You can also look for a Castle brand tuner/subber on ebay. These were commonly used by TV service men in the 70's and are relatively cheap.
Incidently, the tuner will work pretty well if you just adjust the local oscillator. I did the sweep align to get more distant stations!
