Hello to all members, 
I made a short video on an external FM tuner and combined Bluetooth receiver unit I purchased from Aliexpress recently.
youtu.be/wuMR4zzqIzc?si=dchnc8FQEr1lNFNb
It has allowed a nice Bell radio to receive FM radio, and sound through a Bluetooth connection.
Only one small addition was needed to the radio, a 3.5mm stereo socket added through a hole drilled in the chassis.
This was connected to the original Radio/Gramm switch, and makes connection on the Gramm position.
One link to the unit is below....

This has an external USB charger type power supply from the mains separately.
I have also purchased a higher end version, which has an internal battery and external FM antenna connector.
It is still in transit awaiting arrival, as per the below link...

So will update you once that is tested in a few weeks.
This has allowed Bluetooth and FM radio to be played through the Bells dual speakers, and has had many favourable comments on the sound quality.
And it took minimal effort and the least modifications, so to not to spoil the radios originality.
I hope the above can be of some use???
Thanks to all for your time and attention to this post.
Very best regards,
Lance.
