Sorry to be OT but there is also Coast to Coast AM w/George Noory. I wish Art Bell would not have retired though, that is when I would stay up all night listening. I love AM radio, this area actually has 50s and 60s rock and other music as well as good news stations.

My area, 35 miles east of Cleveland, has no AM music stations (except Radio Disney and a local black gospel station that sounds terrible); all the music stations are on FM, as they are in most cities. However, I can hear a few AM music stations from out of town during daylight, and more yet when the band opens up after sundown.

WSM in Nashville is one station that has been playing music since its inception some 70+ years ago; I'm sure they would put up a heck of a fight before they would even think of dropping their country format for talk.

Very nice radio!

I worked on one identical to that one back in 1980 for my then boss. Went through it and did a recap and alignment. He howled at the time spent and the parts cost, but had to admit afterwards that it was worth it.

Despite his once being my boss, and one day in '82 our shouting match, culminating in my telling him to get stuffed and then walking out, we've remained friends.

I was at his place just a few months ago to hook up a large screen monitor for him. He pointed out the old Atwater in his parlor as we were going by it and asked, "Do you remember that?" "Yep." I said. "Still works great!" he said. Although he had to admit there is not much to listen to on AM these days except jibber-jabber.

Those old sets were built to last forever.
