Thanks, Andy. I think I've managed to find something a little better
than what I had in mind, anyway - Lindsay books sells a series of books
called the Impoverished Radio Experimenter. I've ordered two of them
that seem likely to have the information I need. My only concern now is
being able to run a tube receiver off of battery power, but I'm hoping
I can figure out something on my own.

TUBES!! Tubes? Off of Battery, 6 Volt?, Vibrator? Inverter? 12 Volt B+
tubes ? Not since the 1950s ?
Am I reading too much between the lines ?

Except for the audio output stage, we can now run a radio on the power
used to to light the Dial on a Tubes Era Radio !
