G'day Arbo. There is interest, believe me. A brief skim over the website opened a glimpse of another world. Fascinating. My interest is triggered by a background, as a boy, of building crystal receivers of varying degrees of sophistication. As a soldier I also did signals training and I can't tell you how much "enjoyment" I got from lugging around an A501 set (http://www.qsl.net/vk2dym/radio/A510.htm) and trying to construct various aerials in wet, dark and leech ridden rainforest.
How things have changed since the days of reading type written manuals: http://www.qsl.net/vk2dym/manuals/A510_Operator_P1.pdf
I am unlikely to do anything like this myself but will follow your project with great interest. Good luck. Makes an old bloke like me mutter "What'l they think of next". Yes, what indeed. Come to think of it an A501 strapped to a CB would complete the retro look.
Cheers
