42-1008, 42-1015
#2

The "television" button is the same as one of the preset AM stations.

The idea back then was to wirelessly transmit the audio from a prewar Philco TV set through your Philco console radio. By setting up one of the preset buttons in this manner, you could then hear the audio from your TV set.

Call letter tab kits included a "television" tab so one of the preset AM buttons could be used for this.

But very few Philco TV sets were produced prior to WWII; nearly all were experimental sets not sold to the public.

Please explain what you mean by "I do not see how to use this button to input the FM tuner." The 42-1015 already has an FM band - but it is the prewar 42 to 50 mc band, not today's 88 to 108 mc band.
