Hello, I have a 1969 Porsche that has an original, Blaupunkt, radio.
The AM works, but the FM does not. I was trying to find information on
a "FM to AM converter". If anyone has a schematic, or any advice at
all, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks in advance!




I'd call these guys up (http://www.radiomanrepair.com/) and see if
they'll provide a quote for repair of the OEM radio. You'll have a
neat, operating vintage car radio, and you might even get the cash
back when you sell the car.

It isn't trivial to convert FM broadcast signals for reception in the
AM band. You pretty much need a back-to-back FM receiver and an AM
transmitter to do that, and the RF work associated with homebrewing a
converter would (honestly) place the task out of reach for anyone who
needs to ask how to do it. :-)

They used to sell FM to AM converters for car radios. They 'worked' ok.
Watch ebay for Audiovox FM Converter. Here's one example.

Hey if you are interested I have the EXACT same unit that the above link
points to (except mine was OEM'ed by Lafayette radio and has their name
on it). Is it worth anything near what the audiovox unit sold for?
