Refer to the next tab if AM bands are required.
The FM-DW module uses electrostatic sensitive devices: the installation
and setup must be performed by a person with sufficient electronics
background (especially in restoring vintage tube and transistor radios) to
avoid damages, otherwise you are installing and using the FM-DW
module (and eventually the AM Saver module) at your own risks.
Ensure that your radio is accordingly restored and that its amplifier works
correctly.
Keep the radio unpluged from the mains during the whole installation
procedure.
The mains switch of your radio must be clean and not produce excessive
arcing.
If required, a suppressor capacitor may be added in parallel to it.
As we will no longer use the AM bands, the IF section is no longer
required. Therefore, you may disconnect the plate and screen grid circuits of
the IF tubes, and remove those IF tubes if their heaters are connected in
parallel. If the high voltage increases too much after disabling the IF section,
the DC filter should be adjusted with a higher resistor (or a resistor added in
