Fair enough.
The Illinois Antique Radio Club, ARCI, holds is bi-monthly swap meets in Carol Stream quite close to you - there are usually lots of simple radios to be had that you could cut your teeth on . Unfortunately you just missed them so the next mtg is December 8th. You might also want to think about a signal generator which you could get from the same place for not much $. That will help you with most radios you work on and is great for hunting down problems such as you have.
