You already have everything you need except a modulator.

Might even be able to use the speech from the original transmitter.

Then you could try and screen modulate the final (not recommended) or
build the audio amp needed for plate modulation.

Lots of work and tinkering to get it working right.

I would recommend getting something like a DX-100.  Even a broken one. 
It would most likely take less effort to get going and you would have
something of value.  Something that has value also appreciated by
others.
