Hmmmm, money. I am notorious for recycling. I even make my own paint. I scavange all sorts of wire. Only yesterday I found 2 small speakers (and they aren't cheap new). So, from what I scavanged so far I could build a simple radio. It may or may not work. I would prefer to make a valve receiver but lack the spares and bit and pieces. To help me I have a basic idea of very old radio design. I mean one of my sets merely uses a wire for the aerial. So amplify signal, mix to IF, amplify, demodulate, amplify and hope for the best. I do have the IF cans but would doubt my spare AF117's would be good at HF frequency.
