Thank you again so much for your help, its been awhile since I played around with RF coils, at age 74 the light gets a little dimmer. I just got back from the radio hobby after a 12 year absence. I spent many years enjoying the hobby, getting the old ham receivers from the 30s-50s was a favorite of mine, as well as home brewing the regenerative receivers. I got back to it about a year and a half ago after going to a ham fest, I ended up coming home with four old ham boat anchor receivers in not bad shape and got them all working, so here I am at it again and I love it.
I am going to go with the 1Q5 amp tube, and I do have to replace the audio transformer as the primary is toast.
Thanks again
Chip
