Can anyone tell me about small low power AM transmitters? The local AM station that I very much enjoyed is defunct, so now I have nothing to listen to except gospel and jabber-jabber. I hate both. Any ideas how I can play my own music over my antique radios without making the FCC mad?

Label and disconnect the leads on the socket pins K and P in the above diagram. K is the cathode. P are the Anodes (called plates in tube speak).
A 6X5 is 2 diodes in the same bulb with the cathodes connected together.
Above is the symbol for a 1n4007 diode the stripe on the part's body indicates the cathode end. It should not be too hard to figure out the connections from here.
It took me less than 3 minutes on google to find the pictures to make this simple to explain.
I happen to like talk radio when they have something interesting to discuss, but music is also important to enjoyment of such equipment.
