Most start mumbling and can't do it. > Apart from 'Elektor', that was called 'Electuur' here in the Netherlands, we had 'Radio ELectronica' that last one was my faforite, Way before that we had 'Radio Blan': https://archive.org/details/radio-blan/Radio_Blan_01_juli_1960/ Used to read that and build those projects.. If I could get the parts... Componets from 'Amroh' https://became.nl/amroh/Geschiedenis%20AMROH/historie1.htm their '402 coil' (medium wave coil) was seen in many projects. Amroh goes back to 1932... As to 2 resistors that sounds bad... I remember asking to draw a transistor relais driver to see if they forgot the flyback protection diode...
