Seventy-five years ago, if you wanted to be the first on your block with a receiver for the new postwar FM band, you couldn’t go wrong with the Model FM-7 receiver kit from the Radio Kits Company, 120 Cedar Street, New York.
The set was complete with speaker, but there was also provision to use the set as a tuner to feed a separate hi-fi amplifier. The RF section was pretuned at the factory.

And if Junior wants in on the fun, then the Snap Circuits FM receiver shown below can be put together by kids of any age. The manufacturer recommends it for kids over 8 years old, but as long as Junior knows not to eat the parts, it should be fine.
