[Milsurplus] "BC-1068-A Conversion to F.M. Receiver"

[Bruce Gentry]

I remember seeing FM broadcast conversion articles for surplus receivers 
years ago. In addition, friends and I  converted BC-603s to FM broadcast 
in 1966-68. Our front  work wasn't the best, we removed all but three 
moving plates from the tuning condensor sections and cut and tried the 
coils  until we could tune the stations we wanted. A local FM station 
started simulcasting a top 40 AM station, so we wanted to hear it in 
high fidelity in our cars. FM auto radios were expensive then, a BC-603 
was easy to get for little or nothing, the biggest cost was getting 717 
tubes for the front end and a 12 volt dynamotor from Fair Radio- one  
Saturday of mowing lawns. It worked well enough to give many hours of fun.
