Thanks, DeckApe!
Your recommendation of Chuck Schwark's will be followed up. I've downloaded a PDF (schematic & Riders pages) for the 40-180 from NostalgiaAir.com. I'm currently working on a simpler radio, a Setchell Carlson 416 (Frog eyes - All American Five) to get my feet wet. It's also being used to re-initialize this old brain from my days as a radar tech in the Marines (1970-1974), a computer field support engineer for Honeywell (1974-1979) and Burroughs (1979 - 1991)!

I built crystal radios and a one tube radio as a kid, but have not touched tubes or anything outside of ICs in a long time. I've been a Graphic Designer, web master, and college instructor since 1999. Now that I'm retired, I'm going back to tubes! Unreal!
