A best-of-both-worlds AM / FM transmitter, or a piece of lab gear?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/197189121231   Boomer, FWR this. Interesting... FM beyond what would aloud for FCC Part 15 ops. And, from what I can tell, too low of a signal for decent Part 15 AM. So, I see better used as a piece of bench-testing lab gear for RF tests. The price is right. Just my take.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

TX is 75MHz - 108MHz only, so forget Part 15 AM.
