I finished with the re-wiring, except that I didn't have a 10K pot for the volume control, so I used the 25K pot that was used in the original circuit. Finally I am able to receive something! With just my body for an antenna, holding onto the antenna wire, I am able to pick up a couple of stations, which is an improvement over where I was. I still have a problem with "motorboating" sounds if the RF input is too strong. I'll chase that down. I have a 10K pot on order, I'll see how that affects things, but at least I'm getting there.
