I never knew that they made radios with both versions of FM. It wasn't till my purchase of a beautiful Philco 42-350 table set that knew that there was an 'old' FM as well as what we know today. To beat all my Philco has AM, Shortwave, and the old FM which is marked 21-99 with no reference to frequency multipliers such as Kilo and Mega. I think it simply says Station call signs.
So, part of the reason I bought it was the novelty of having an old set with FM. I have others, but they are normal. I find that I still like the radio which is far from low end with the pre-set fake marble push-buttons and finely finished wood. It goes well in a now separated section of wooden radios that I have divided off from the Bakelite sets. I just wish they had thought of doing both bands as there really isn't anything on the rather low frequencies that this set pulls in.
