Hey Walter, I am so very sorry to hear that you have gotten the bed bugs! They truly are nasty little critters and they are extremely so difficult to get rid of once you have them! This is something I was afraid may happen to you one day as you get so many things from thrift stores and flea markets! You never know who had that stuff before you Walter! On a lighter note, tonight Stacy and Christopher got finished decorating the Christmas tree! They put the ornaments and the popcorn on the tree! Afterwards Christopher got to put on the star to the top of the tree! The star is a family heirloom which has been with us for generations! The tree is not fully decorated and looks so very beautiful with all of it's bright colorful LED lights, shiny ornaments, garland, and popcorn strung on it! We are so very happy with how it turned out! Tonight we had Stacy's famous cooked flaborgasti! Stacy really makes the best cooked flaborgasti that you have ever tasted! Stacy is such an amazing cook and a great wife! Tonight we are going to watch Rudolph the red nosed reindeer! That is one of Christopher's favorite movies for the Christmas season! He loves the part where Roudolph's nose lights up red like an LED light! Tomorrow we will be setting up the train which goes around the Christmas tree! That is one of Christopher's favorite parts! We will also be starting the process of putting the string lights on the front of the house for the whole neighborhood to see! We really go all out on the Christmas lights here Walter! We also have yard decorations which we will be putting out sometime soon! We likely won't get to that tomorrow though! I hope you have a great night Walter, and we will all pray for you that you get the bedbug situation cleared up! Those bedbugs really are nasty little creatures which have no mercy! I hope it does not come to tenting up your house! If it does come to that Walter, I would recommend the use of a Lasko 3733 to circulate the poison gas around to help eliminate all of them! The Lasko 3733 will do such a very amazing job of that as it moves 8,000 CFM which is an astronomical amount of air for any fan to make! It truly is the best fan on the planet! I will update you tomorrow of the progress in decorating for Christmas! Until then, Happy Holidays Walter!
BTW, one of my hobbies is AM DX'ing and I have an Etón elite 750 and living in Philly I've picked up stations as far north as Toronto and far south as Atlanta. Do you think I could get that oldies station on it without an external antenna?
I don't know, a few years ago i would say maybe, the station was 10kw daytime and 5kw night, but in the past few years they have lowered it to 9kw day and only 120w night, so it is pretty difficult to pick up. It is WKIX 850 AM in Raleigh NC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WKIX_(AM)
That 'AM-FM Together' feature was designed at a time when experimental, stereophonic broadcasts were being done on occasion, where one channel of the audio, say the left, was transmitted on an FM station and the other, right, channel was transmitted on an AM station. Stereophonic via simulcast. A very unique radio, that Emerson, that would have that simulcast reception capability, built-in.
Very interesting. I would love to have experienced that. Although I guess I do own both an AM and an FM transmitter, so I guess I could try it out if I made a splitter. It seems like there would be a difference in audio quality in the 2 channels though as AM radio generally sounds softer than FM, a sound which I like, but is different. It certainly would have been a pretty nice radio for 1959, I have never seen anything quite like it in my decade of collecting. That raises the question of if it has FM stereo or not, I didn't test that, but I don't see it advertised anywhere on it, and I have much later radios which proudly advertise that they are a stereo FM reciever. Thanks for the information.
That is something I should try to do at some point, but I have so many things that "I should do at some point" that it will likely be a good while before I get around to it.

Funny to think at one time that was advanced tech. Very cool and strange radio

@walterknox if you did go ahead and do a follow up with the AM and FM transmitters that would be very vwestlife of you. That would be cool.
