Check out this cool link to early stereo radios. I refirbished an early AM/FM tube radio, which I thought was interesting because it was a tube radio that tuned the FM band.

I have TWO stereo tube radios (Silvertone) and a junker German stereo radio (without multiplex adapter) that probably isn't worth fixing. I haven't been able to GIVE away the spare Silvertone (picked it up for parts, don't really need any...)

Thanks for posting a link to your site. I really like your radios. Your Stromberg Carlson's are wonderful.

Mark Margiotta, Akhilesh Bajaj and I were talking about old FM radios and the FM band this evening, and we decided to look up the date when the FCC first established the FM band for commercial broadcast. We found it to be 1937. So in fact, there were several years that the FM band was used when tubes were used in radio construction. FM didn't gain popularity until after transistors became popular, but it was commercially available.
