Doing that I can listen to FM on a '20's set! I never do though. If I could start my collection over, I would definitely put an IPOD jack on every radio. The sound is a little too pure, but I could deal with that!
Thanks, I like it too, I was actually just about to buy a 1940s vintage Manning Bowman 12" 3 speed oscillating table fan but the price was a little steep for me, plus there wasn't any discounts on it, but then I saw this radio, which was in pristine condition cabinet wise and was $20 more than the fan but it had a 10% discount which made it a little more worth my money.
