Sonora RZU-222 fm doesn't work

I recently picked up an Sonora RZU-222 off of ebay as a restoration project figuring i could just clean it up and replace the broken dial cord and have a nice radio but alas that is not the case. it picks up AM stations just fine but when you switch it to FM it still plays AM but it sounds muffled. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sounds like it might be just the switch not making contact.
heres a place to get schematics [url]www.nostalgiaair.org[/url] go to resource , then to sonora radio &telev corp. scroll down to your model. its pre 1949.

i found the schematics here http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/542/M0018542.htm
but unless i've lost the ability to read them the switch i thought was an AM/FM switch is just "tone control" i have no idea what that is.

TONE CONTROL USE TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO GET A LITTLE BASS SOUND . IT WOULD MUFFLER THE TONE A LITTLE.

o my. well the person that sold me this lied and i can't get refunded. there wouldn't me some mystical way in which i could make it fm would there?

or perhaps an fm to am converter?

No, I'm afraid not.
FM is far different frequencies than AM.

wasn't there an fm to am converter for car radios?

I would just enjoy it the way it is nice old radio.

found an am station that plays oldies all the time so i suppose i will

Thats great only thing i can get is talk or sports,and some good old preaching. Need lot of that.

That is an AM radio only. That is a tone switch.
Don't feel bad. It still looks like a nice radio, though.
