Those are fun little receivers - I have a modified R23 that still has the original caps and Im replacing those with modern components.  I havent listened to the NDB's lately but there are a couple 'locally' (near 9 Land) ive copied.
My R23 will be used more as a tuneable IF RX/Q5'er

Hi Everyone

A gaggle of us went to the Berryville VA hamfest yesterday.  This followed me home:

An R-23 receiver for 0.19 – 0.55 Mc – the beacon band.   The rear connector is stock and there's a dynamotor plate mounted on the back for power.   Homemade audio panel.   I popped the top lid and it was nice and clean – and stock –  inside.  Also attached to the lid was the tuning knob for a remote control box.

Can't go wrong for $25 !!  

This will go nicely with my SCR-274N BC-453-B beacon band receiver.  I plan to use the R-23 this winter for some NDB listening fun.
