I noticed while cleaning the shutter dial on my Zenith 12S568 that one of the bands says "Frequency Modulation". Was this set able to recieve the early FM band or was it just a fancy word for something else? There is also a switch on the back for "television".
When did the first FM sets start coming out? I don't deal much with FM era radio's as I like pre-war set's the best.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
