WEFM was 99.5 and is denoted by a dot near the 100 marker on most every Zenith AM/FM set I have ever seen. You should see a dot right near the 100 on the outer band of stations which is FM on this set. Zenith had sort of an experimental station running well before FM was popular. I do not know if that helps a whit.

I have one of those sets and I never really thought too much about the lining up on the dial. It does well enough I can tune it. As I recall it has no AFC and can drift a bit.

If you get nowhere with it you can pm me and I may have a resource for you.

Good luck.

Paul
