I've owned my 42-1013 since 1978. I haven't fired it up in the last 25 years, but I remember listening to FM channels up to around 98. I'm perplexed why everyone says you can't pick anything up on the prewar FM dial. I understand the reasoning why they say you can't pick anything up, but confused to why I can. I can't wait to restore my unit and start listening to it again.
