Just to add to what the Boss sez. Early FM sets came out in '42 or so but that used whats called the FM 50 band. It was around 50mc, like 50-55mc.After the war the FM 100 band was add. That's the FM band we use today. About 1947 or so the FM 50 band was dropped leaving the FM 100 band. The Hams got the old '50 band and called it the 6Meter band. I don't know if Philco ever made any but for a short time Zenith made some sets that have both the FM 50 and 100 bands.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
