Um what about variable caps and other hardware? I got

design and the dials and weird variable air caps you just can't find
that looks like it was about a 1948-ish design[1].
You could also go back to about 1921 and build your own book-style
variable capacitors, vario couplers and build it all on a shellacked
pine board. Finding UV201s may be a problem, as well as "B"
batteries...
But air variables are still around; you may have to look a bit...
