soldering is my middle name.... but I want to keep the original
radio..............the most modifying I want to do would be to build
this converter

When you say "keeping it to one station"... do you mean the AM or the
FM?... I want to be able to change the AM, but if I have to keep the
Blaupunkt at one frequency to receive the signal from the converter, I
wouldn't mind at all.

Seeing as how you are a "packer fan" I may have just what you are
looking for. I have one of those FM to AM converters. Got it sometime
in the 70's. It is a very small box about 3/4 inch high by about 4 x 6
inches. Used it in a car that came with only an AM radio. Just plugs
into the antenna jack and the car antenna plugs into it. Needs to also
hook to 12 volt power. Push the button and it switches the converter
in line. Set a push button on the am radio the the output frequency of
the converter and tune in your FM station with the knob on the
converter. It is mono FM though. No stereo. Works great. Email me at
if interested.

I found the converter box in the garage shelf I had mentioned. However
it turned out to be an 8-track converter. Remember 8-track?! WOW!

.... I cut it three times already and it's still too short!

There used to be all transistor converters like that back when. Now
that I think of it there might even be one in the garage here. I'm not
sure though, but the last time I was clearing room for the car I
vaguely recall coming across such an FM converter on a shelf. Would it
be something you might want if it works?
