Default Re: FM to AM Converter?

I thought I would add to this thread, in case people don't know about these. I only discovered them a couple of years back. There is an excellent quality vintage FM to AM converter made by Audiovox and they are readily available on ebay. They have a super high quality continuous tuning FM tuner made in the typical analog design of the 1970's and 80's FM car radios. They put the received FM stations up on an AM 1400Khz signal (or thereabouts) to feed an AM car radio. Their output simply plugs in series with the antenna wire to the AM radio. They are super compact maybe about 5" by 1". I have attached a photo, and one that was installed in a Triumph TR4 to see the relative size of it compared with an AM radio. It is hard to beat the continuously tunable FM receiver.They can of course be used with any AM radio.
