If def of "currently mfg'ed" is literal,
you may have issues. Virtually
all the tubes which would make decent FM front ends / converters were
made in USA and EU; stress were.
Count on a big box of stuff. Your best bet is to find a older 'top'
quality tuner and rebuild it. Today's tuners are for 'cheap sound'.
Look around, you can still get them if you shop wisely on the net.
Ben.
PS. The problem with DIY is that tube radio transformers are hard to
come by.
