Anyone remember these from the late 1960's ? Tompkins Radio Products - Tuneaverter - Made any AM car radio into a VHF monitor radio. Car radio antenna plugged in to the back of the converter and a jumper from the converter plugged into the antenna jack on the AM car radio. Ran off one 9 volt battery, has tune range of 150 to 170 mhz and one crystal position. If using the crystal, the tuning dial then became a peaking control. Mine still works on the test bench... however, since this was mainly a tuneable wideband device, MANY different signals are all received at once because it was not very selective.
