Well, at least it isn't a Fremodyne!  |
Interesting, I hope this isn't going to need a lot of realignment because I really don't know a whole lot of realignment stuff except for just what I can do by ear, I have an oscilloscope which could be used for that but I don't have a frequency generator (I had seen one once at one of the local flea markets for $20 but I didn't have the money on me at the time and when I did have the money later on I went back to go get it and it was already sold!) Anyways What is Fremodyne? And why would they use the old FM (42-50 Mhz) as the basis for this radio which uses the modern FM band? Also the FM Tuner mechanism is really interesting on this radio it uses a "piston" like mechanism that's controlled by a small gear that's mounted on the AM tuning capacitor for tuning the FM...
