Early stereo FM - thoughts?

[Jeffhs]

The thread in the Early Color Television forum on the best early color sets (I don't recall the title of the thread at the moment) got me to thinking. What were the best early stereo FM radios? I'm speaking here of receivers that were set up for the then-new multiplex system, not the clunky old AM/FM stereo system that used an AM and an FM station to broadcast both channels of a stereo program. These multiplex-ready receivers would have been on the market beginning in 1961, the year the FCC authorized stereo multiplex in this country. I know Zenith introduced its MJ1035 AM/multiplex FM receiver that year, but were there any other stereo radios that were as good as or better than it was? For that matter, how good were the first stereo FM broadcasts, and what city was the first to have a station broadcasting under the then-new multiplex system? I seem to remember reading somewhere that GE's WGFM in Schenectady, New York and Zenith's WEFM in Chicago were among the first true stereo multiplex FM stations, if not the first such stations in the United States.

As a point of interest, I think (but I am by no means certain) that the first FM station in Cleveland, Ohio to broadcast in multiplexed stereo was WDGO-FM (now WCLV). Since the station went on the air in 1962, I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the first stereo stations in this part of the Midwest. Were there any other stereo FM stations on the air or under construction in Ohio (anywhere in the state) at the same time WCLV began its operations?
