Default Valve/tube car radio AM to FM conversion ideas?

For appearance and modern day use in a vintage vehicle. That is adding
an FM IC inside somewhere rather than RF converter plugged in aerial
socket. Assuming there is somewhere around the volume control to switch
out the AM and switch in an FM IC o/p audio . How to secrete that switch
and a step through the band switch as channel changer. Maybe possible to
change the LW/MW switch to MW/FM and if some part of the dial scale is
flexible then hide a switch behind that. Any other ideas without
affecting the external appearance of the original?


There's a UK company that specialises in such work -

The Vintage Wireless Company

Think they're a pretty small outfit and it's possible they will give some
help to a fellow trader. ;-)
