WOW this is a great post. I wish I had your talent.. I am doing a 15X. I completed all of the CAPs and Resistors less the BIG multi can. The wires looked pretty brittle and I was not comfortable unsoldering the mess. (I ohm'd the 5K resistors - and checked for opens/shorts on the CAPS and they looked OK) The radio plays but does seem weak in the 570-770 KHZ range. I am anxious to see your final results.
