Hallicrafters made a few, Scott had one that could be mounted inside the cabinet of their receivers, and I'm sure other companies made them as well.  There are some shown on this page:

The problem is the old band is 8 MHz wide while the modern band is 20 MHz wide.  The converter has to break up the new band into 3 segments to cover everything on the old band.
