Did 1st Gens have one or two different AM/FM radio options? Same question asked differently: Did the mono and stero speakers use the same AM/FM radio? Sometimes the word fader is used in reference to AM/FM radio. What does fader mean? Thanks, Ed

In answer to your radio question.

There was:

AM radio

AM radio with fader

AM radio with 8 track

AM-FM radio

AM-FM radio with fader

AM-FM stereo radio

AM-FM stereo radio with 8 track

The fader was a variable resistor mounted on the right radio knob that divided sound signal betweem the front speaker and the rear speaker. The stereo/8 track radio got multiple speakers in front and rear, while the others could have only the single front speaker or front and rear speaker with the fader.
