So I got to wondering if I could make a complete receiver, either using Tobe's reed bank or a made-up one.
Many components, like resistors and caps, are easy to source nowadays. The coils are specified, so quite possible to build. There should be modern transistor equivalents for all the old specifications. But a 5:1 transformer and the IF cans look as if they could be a problem...
Does anyone know:
- where one might get a miniature 5:1 transformer?
what the specification of the IF cans is?
whether matching cans are still available?
