My Opus Telefunken 6

Not a bad idea at all.
I'm going to be careful recapping mine because I don't want to upset the RF alignment. Perhaps I'll just replace the caps on the first audio and power amplifier sections. Plus the selenium rectifier.

BTW, my recollections of listening to shortwave radio in my younger years was one of the main reasons to buy the Opus.

My plan is to recreate the old Voice Of America Jazz Hour shows on mp3. With a good audio editor such as Audacity, I can put together a simulated vintage radio show.

They can be broadcast to the radio using a small AM transmitter I have at hand, or better yet using a Squeezebox network player and the tape/pick-up inputs of the radio.

Also, the Squeezebox can be used to receive internet broadcasts from around the word. Should be awesome to listen to them via the Opus 7. Talk about the best of both worlds: the classic tube sound of a vintage hi-fi radio plus the ability to listen to Internet radio streams!

I do this with my low power FM transmitter. I bring up the big band/swing stations on the internet and listen to them on the antique (and reproduction) radios around house. I've found old time radio shows with Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and more along with comedy, drama, sci fi. It's cool to listen to them on the radio again. Shoutcast.com has several of the big band/swing stations.
