Hi Codefox1;
Thanks for the reply and info.
The mounting board should pretty easy. Think I will use a PM speaker with a power resistor to replace the field coil. The output transformer is mounted under the chassis and ohms out good. I will take your advice and increase the size of the filter e-caps to reduce hum.
I will try to make a loop antenna from 12 ga. solid copper wire that I have. I will pattern it after the loop antenna which rotates a few degrees that is in my Philco 41-280.

Thanks again.
Marion
