Thanks, Chuck! They should be exactly what I need!

I went ahead and did some more work on it, and discovered three issues: 1. The lead connecting resistor 3,26, 32, cap 36, and the top of the volume control does not show as connected on the schematic, which it is; 2. One lead had been improperly connected to the wrong side of resistor 3, I assume by whomever had added the audio jack to the set; 3. The oscillator coil connected to the cathode of the 36 tube was open. Additionally, the other two parts of the coil were connected in reverse.

I fixed the above issues, and the set now works well on frequencies below ~750KHz. Above 750KHz, it gradually fades out. Soooo, more to come....
