After we get done redoing the house, I'm really tempted to build this set. Nine tube superhet a la Popular Mechanics, September 1925.

I have access to the IF tranformers, the meter, the tuning caps. Audio transformers are elusive, unless someone can help.

Problem I'm coming across is finding a speaker and the loop. Loop is a foldable Mathiesen job. The speaker is a Clarion Number 21. Also need to find the little tuning cap, it's a Chelton 855. The transformers are Thordarson, no model given, and the AF transformer is a General radio 285.

What are the chances I might be able to find them? Everything else I may be able to account for. Oh, and I'll build the batteries...

Looks super nostalgic. There are several antique radio parts sites on the Internet where you might be able to pick up those items including eBay and oldradioparts.com. If you should happen to be near a city, you might be able to acquire them locally as there are always people in that area who happen to own warehouses of assorted antique electronic items. Moreover, perhaps your local electronic parts distributor can direct you to those who might stock those particular items.

Should be able to find the thoradson transformers, general radio may be a little harder. Have you checked play things of past? they have some listed.

Post your wish list on the ARF, and hopefully someone will have what you need.
