I'm getting a Philco console (41-608) ready to give to my co-worker as a house warming gift. It had a pull out phonograph that I just sent out to a Phorum member. In its place, I've set a Dynaco FM-5 SS tuner that is plugged into the phono input. (actually, I had to feed the cable thru the the phono jack and solder it in place.) The AC for the tuner is the AC that went to the phono. So when you push the ON/OFF button to turn the radio on and the band switch is on PHONO, when the tubes warm up, you have beautiful FM. He would never listen to AM and he'll only listen to SW when he wants to show someone what SW is. So without the FM, I'd be giving him a dust collector.
