well, you probably tried this, but generally the easiest way to fake that sound is to moderately roll off the high and low end on a EQ. I believe the old time radio sound was from mostly mid-range.

Cut anything below 125hz and above 8khz and see if that works.


Also you might want to record the sound of a room by itself and mix it together with your vocals.

Try a RF or FM modulator-->old TV/radio-->mic-->back to console. Those modulators are about $30 at Radio Shack.

Try sending the tracks (in mono) to a small speaker and re-recording it. Similar in approach to the EQ thing, but you can get a bit of distortion from the speaker too.

just a side note, try the Izotope Vinyl plugin at http://www.izotope.com for some of the static and smaller elements.
