You've got a nice collection of radios. I used to have one of those GE 780s.
A great radio! Another one of my favorites was the Zenith Royal 41. There
were a couple versions of that radio that I know of. One of them had a
bright orange tuning needle, while the other one had the white outline of a
downward facing arrow on the tuning needle. Those things had a hot front
end. Too bad I didn't know how to adjust 3-point tracking in those days.

Simplest one you can make is by taking the main tuning capacitor and
ferrite
rod antenna out of an old AM radio, wiring them in parallel, then
putting
that
circuit in series with your antenna. That will allow you to peak the
frequency
you're tuned to, reducing all others. If you wire that circuit (an LC
circuit)
from your antenna to ground, it will notch the frequency it's tuned to
....
kinda handy if you've got a local pest that splatters across the bands.

Now that seemed to be a sweet catch, especially on that piece. Did you qsl
by
chance?
