Possible to convert 42MC-50MC FM?

Thanks sean, I am getting loopy trying to use this site. Paging ahead helps.

I thought I was the only nut who would save an orphan chassis before I discovered it.

I built the convereter last day and it works like a charm, much more stable than TV tuner hack. Very stable with strong -- loud signal on 93.7 KJZY Station. Problem is, on picks up this one station only. Other stations just heard as modulation hum, any suggestios? Anyone familiar w/ prewar FM's , Please PM me! Will a signal booster work? I believe this to be strongest FM station, only tunes to this anyways? How many statios can anyone tunes w/ theirs using a conveter? Any tips?

Hello kent, I had a 1948? zenith console ol new band fm radio, Got rid of it. Should of kept it, needed reveneering, Zenith did ultra cheap photo veneer finish. Spin a record once in a while, had record player so was'nt teribly attached. Radio would of been worth saving if cabinet totally gone thru. Relized afterwards those radios not very common as early Fm.

Anybody figure out how to download page 233 with the convertor article on it? Doesn't seem possible to me.

In the meantime, you can buy a 'Sentry' HO 900 FM wireless headset system on eBay for ~$20 that transmits in the 42 to 50 MHZ band, crystal controlled and sounds good when playing a cd through it. It works great through my Philco 42-395 console.
