Looks like you got yourself a real fine set there!

The set was designed when some stations had hi fi modulators and broadband modulation was permitted for WLW at least. You'll need to build a small xmitter to show-off the radio. Or, at least, get a phonograph with a magnetic pickup and a preamp to connect to it.

PS AM stations now not only cut the audio above 5 kHz, as required by law, they cut the low freqs too and boost the apparent loudness of their blabber-mouths.
