Have you thought about re-building your original two valve TRF? I'm always thinking I should re-build mine. It worked quite well, but I realise now that I got some things wrong and I'm sure I could build it so much better 50 years on.

At some stage, I dismantled it, and I have all the bits, though few would get re-used in the 21st century version. In its final incarnation, I took the slow-motion drives from a No.18 set Tx and fitted those to it.
