My best guess is that most of the time, the radio stayed on AM since FM was relatively new in the '60s, with few mono, let alone stereo, stations to be found unless the owner was in or very near a large metropolitan area.

The components that were removed have a code date of late 1960.
The radio has only eight tubes in it. It probably has provisions for an add-on MPX adaptor.
