If you have a component list and/or schematic, I'd sure like to build one as
well. I have an old AK-10 which was stored in a closet for years. It was in the
first-ever load of radio gear I got back in the early 80s. I removed all the
components and refinished the board which had been left by an open window, and
removed one turn of wire that couldn't be returned to the end coil. It looks
great and I'd love to make it play again. I've yet to come across a good
eliminator with adjustable voltages and refuse to trust just anything.

Your experience is one I've always dreamed of. To be able to pick up signals
from an old battery set while fiddling with all three dials and the associated
rheostats must be great!
