New FM-DW 2.2 FM converter module for your vintage radios Tune using the original dial, and listen with the radio's tube (or transistor) amplifier ! Better sound than FM to AM transmitters. The most successful FM converter module.
PLEASE READ THE BLUE TEXT BELOW BEFORE PURCHASING.
Detailed installation and setup instructions are located at the URL printed under the FM-DW module (we cannot post it here as per eBay rules), and are easily found on Google by searching "FM-DW module".
To prevent any potential damage, the installation must be carried out under professional-grade electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by a technician with a strong background in electronics, particularly in the restoration of vintage tube and transistor radios. As the installation process is straightforward for this type of technician, we do not provide custom tutorials.
Every FM-DW 2.2 module is tested before shipping. In case of return, we will proceed with a close inspection to ensure that the module was not damaged by an improper installation or tampering with, in which case there will be no exchange and no refund.
The FM-DW module converts almost all vintage tube and transistor radios to the FM band. Its AM Saver "piggyback" module (sold in my other listing) allows keeping the AM bands when necessary.
DAB/DAB+ radios can be heard using a cheap DAB/DAB+ to FM transmitter (not included), which avoids altering the radio to insert additional controls and a LCD screen.
The FM-DW 2.2 module only works with a tuning capacitor. The version 3.0 adds support for variable inductors (mainly for vintage car radios) and can drive most magic eye types for signal strength.
