Thanks for confirming, Paul. It's a very formative memory for me.

That's quite a range! Presumably they'd upped the power quite a bit by then?

I remember my friend picking up a music centre in the 1990s when they were cheap as chips. This had the silver frequency sticker on the side, but no diamond stickers on the dial. I remember it had 4-5 preset buttons with the TV like settings under a flap. I think they were for FM only.
