With many thanks to "joybird," I've added a Titan FM tuner to my Magnavox.

I'm hoping to find an original Magnavox FM tuner eventually, but this Titan works very well and will serve the purpose nicely for the time being.
And with many thanks to Doug Houston, I now have a Webster Chicago 256 two speed changer in my possession, which is pretty much the correct changer for this radio. (Since my Regency is a 1947 model, it would have had a W-C 56 changer, single-speed 78 rpm, originally. The 256 is an upgrade, and offers 33-1/3 and 78 rpm operation.) It even has the name Magnavox molded into the tone arm! I will be installing this changer in place of the working (but non-original) RCA-Seeburg changer in the near future.
I really need to change that grillecloth...
