As far as listening to these old sets, I pump whatever I want through my old sets with my AM transmitter. I either use my computer, or old cassette/CD portable player. 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!

I had a Philco like that about 62 years ago! I got it from a neighbor. The dial glass was broken and it worked somewhat. I got something on the FM band, but it sounded like TV sound. I gave it to a friend.
The schematic shows more of Philco's oddball circuitry to get around Armstrongs design.
