If you restore antique AM radios, you may have noticed that there is little or no decent music available on AM broadcast. In this video, I how how to build a very simple AM transmitter that lets you play MP3 through an antique radio.

Note, that I used a 9V regulator to supply the Opamp. This is fixed with annotations (not visible on mobile).
