Hi, I just bought one of these http://antiqueradio.org/mike-radio.htm I havent received it yet but its supposed to be locked on to the station it advertises. The one in the photos is a FM but mine is a AM. My question is there anyway this can be converted where I can change stations? Maybe add FM? Thanks in Advance

I looked around on Google, and found some stuff on the FM model. The manufacturer put a crystal in the local oscillator, I assume to keep the thing on the frequency of the station for which it was built. I couldn't find out much about the AM version, but they might have fixed tuning components for the local oscillator and antenna, and you might be able to tune the thing for other AM stations. If someone has found a schematic fof the thing, let me know where and I will be able to tell you more.

Thank You, I have been searching for a schematic, may have to wait till it gets here. Honestly if I knew it was on a fixed station I would not have bought it.
