Hi Graham,

Are you going to mic the Hackers like guitar amps, or take a direct audio output?

Direct audio output of course

Either way I don't think this is the way to create an authentic '60 sound unless you want everything to sound like "The days of Pearly Spencer".

I just want to give the listeners the feeling to sit in front of an old AM Radio and enjoying the show.

There must have been more to studio audio processing in the '60s than just EQ, what about dynamic compression?

I do use dynamic compression in my setup with additional vintage Tube compressors

Luxembourg sounded very "bright", and I'm sure there was some reverb added too, perhaps that is the definitive sound of '60s AM radio?

Yes I can remember Luxenburg using reverbs. This is also available in my broadcast studio.

It looks like I will do what noone else has been done before

I will keep you posted, and thanks for the feedback.
