I bought a nearly perfect Zenith shortwave and am set at auction for about $150.00 The filter caps need to be replaced as there is some hum. Watch Craigs list. Younger people have no interest in this stuff and when their folks or grandparent pass away they just want to get rid of them.

Why don't you just buy a10-tube superhet in a large walnut cabinet with a cloth speaker grille and an amber back-lighted circular dial driven by dial cord and ganged capacitors? Maybe throw in a magic eye tube. :-)

I confess that what I am trying to recreate is the warm sound of a 10-tube supperhet in a large walnut cabinet with a cloth speaker grille and an amber back-lighted circular dial driven by dial cord and ganged capacitors while listening to a Radio Moscow announcer crow about Sputnik.
