Default How can I make a simple antenna trimmer?

Yes. Just a small 365pf(??) or lower value variable capacitor should
work. I wanted to see the circuitry so I could provide a better guess
at the capacitor value. Something like these:

Any old tube or xsistor radio should have one. Dig around at thrift
shops or ham flea markets for old radios and junk boxes.

Good luck and I'm amazed that such an old radio still works.


I had it recapped and fully restored by an old ham friend. He even wired
it for an Heathkit Q-Multiplier. Really comes alive on the AM band at
night!
