I'd like to build some homebrew VHF-AM receivers - specifically a receiver
for
the VHF 108-118 Mhz band. I've found lots of great ideas and reference
designs
out there but they're all constructed of parts made from "unobtainium" (e.g.
old
MC13135/6, MC1350, etc., etc.)...

Can anyone on this group point me to some designs/ideas for how to construct
something made from "actually available" components???

Thanks for any help...
