IF the LT-112B has a detector output, you can use an external MPX unit

Radio Road

Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

If not... I'd say it's more trouble than it's worth to try to hack one in.

Given that the LT-112B was a kit, it might be possible, but non-trivial to do it 'right', I'd expect.

As 6BQ5 noted, the alignment of your specific tuner may be a factor.
The quality of the signal going in is also paramount, especially in stereo. How far away is the station and what kind of reception (i.e., signal strength) are you getting? Any multipath issues? E.g., a building or hill between you and the transmitter, or is the signal able to get to you directly as well as via a "bounce" from same? What are you using for antenna? How high is it? Unless truly omnidirectional -- how is it aligned with respect to the transmitted signal's origin?

Hiss does kind of come along for the ride with MPX stereo.

Also, not sure how well that Scott tuner deals with modern "HD" (hybrid digital) broadcast signals.
all the best,

and it seems there are plenty of LM4500s available on the bay - ltman 12:15:04 01/27/24 (0)
