I have the impression that 50s AM-FM tabletop radios cost about double
what AM tabletops did. As an example, here's a page scanned from the
1955 Spiegel catalog:

That doesn't cost many times more than the cheapest radio on the page,
but it was an expensive way to listen to simulcasts and second tier
programming.



I note that the only "AM/FM" radio shown on that page is not what the
description indicates. It is a Granco FM only radio in the actual picture.
