П😁😁😁 ok I have music !
I bought the jaycar blue tooth unit AA 2108.
I have it wired straight in on the turntable input on the chassis.
At first I had low volume ,but now all is up and running good. So now I can listen to any station I want too.
I will still build a antenna though so I have the best of both worlds, I might miss the noise of AM on blue tooth!!!
Thank you all for your input on this as I have never done this before and tonight my Kriesler 11 77 is pounding the house with music again .

Those little recievers sound very good. How did you solve the low volume problem?

Hello Carl
It was a device issue so I connected it to another lap top.
It works well and being able to listen to any station is fun. it's very clean and in stereo of cause ,Which takes some getting use to when you are use to listening to AM in mono on Radiograms .As you would know many old recordings are recorded In mono and there for they sound great on Radiograms . In some ways AM board casting is better, because it sounds right with some noise and of cause it also nostalgic.This is why I will still build a antenna and that way I will have both option while Am is still broadcasting.

I stream spotify from my laptop into a little AM transmitter I assembled from a kit I bought from China costing me $18. It runs on 12 volts supplied by two lantern batteries which have lasted 3 years so far. All my radios in the house will tune into it and it sounds great!
