My Dad claimed he had a "goat roper" filter in his car radio that
prevented it from playing country music. I guess this is the opposite.

I have what I believe to be a vintage/original Motorola AM radio for sale.
I took it out of my '53 when I decided to go the 'modified' route. I also
know it needed freshening up. It was weak but worked when I pulled it.
I remember this radio played ONLY country music. Honest! No joke!
I can't explain it but I never got a station that played anything else. It
must have been a (very) special option. In the end I wanted a bit more
verity and replaced it. Now I get news, weather, and lots of stations
with other formats. Laugh if you want but its the honest truth.
I wouldn't want or demand $100 as Mark mentioned. It's not worth that
much to me and I can't imagine someone who would want the secret
of how to listen to country ALL the time. I like country part of the time
but not all the time.
