I concur with Sam.
Even using Silicon in IF stages can be hit or miss. Often they knock alignment out or introduce instability. Germanium equivalents are still out there, perhaps more expensive than in the 60's but if you take inflation into account they are still reasonably priced especially if you buy the Russian ones.
