Default Re-Coil an FM, MW and SW radio?

heya fellas,

I recently took apart an old radio. My interest in radios has been growing for the past few months. The only problem is that I have no where near the funds required to set myself up with even a decent portable radio. Anyway, back to this radio. It was probably made in the late 80's to early 90's. It says its a Bluapunkt Sabre 90... Does this mean anything to you guys?

It is almost a standard radio, except that it can handle SW. Now, when I opened it up, I noticed 3 coils of wire wrapped around some sort of a tube. In my brain, im think that these 3 coils are for the 3 different frequency bands! So, now this gets me thinking, maybe I can make some different coils, and so change the frequency band? Is it that simple, or is there something more to it? I really want to listen in on our nearby airport at 121.9MHz... I think.

Are there any websites that I can visit to help aswell.

Kind regards,
Patrick
