You have some nice sets! Wow, that big Stromberg-Carlson is something. The Emerson AM+FM is from a time in the early sixties just before multiplex, when some stations experimented with stereo broadcasts, one channel on their AM transmitter and the other channel on their FM. Most people joining in to hear the experiments just used two radios but a few manufacturers actually made sets that would receive both signals. Arvin was another one that I know of. All the broadcasts I heard like that back then were orchestral, classical or semi-classical.
