RE: [T3] Are FM 6v radios available?

["Schwein, William" <William.Schwein@bankofamerica.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>	My 73 FB radio does not work but might when I spend a little time on
the wiring.    It has a slider in the middle right below the dial.  Is it
AM/FM or what is that slider deal for?

FM began its popularity in the 50s and really came into full strength in the

60s. Early Blaupunkt radios were 6V/12V switchable, and were available in 
AM/FM/SW versions. They are expensive now, but less expensive than a 
conversion to 12V. They are also GREAT radios.
