I listen to my 42-390 philco all the time. Unfortunately, there are NO AM music stations period around here. At least, none that I can pick up.

So, the only way to listen to this thing, is I use a home made AM transmitter that doesnt perform within 5 feet very well, but it produces a harmonic in the 40mhz range that I can hear very well all the way outside! (mostly because the carrier is distorted to a triangle like pattern. "was a sine wave, but the RF amp stage distorted it to a triangle."). So the harmonic is alot stronger and gets way more distance than the center frequency. But its more distorted, considering the audio is AM. being picked up on the FM band clearly. oh well. it works.

I think thats good I guess?
