The IC TDA7010T is easily available now a days and the good thing is that the internal circuitry, performance and sensitivity is similar to TDA7000 IC and it is also smaller in size as compare to TDA7000 IC due to which it require less space. This IC is available in surface mount version (SMD) with 16 pins.
The circuit is very simple to make and require only few external components and can be fit in a very small place. L1 is equal to 6 turns of enamelled copper wire of 23 SWG close wound on 3mm diamater air core. The audio output of the IC is around 75mV so you can use any audio amplifier IC like LM386, TDA7052, TBA820M etc. with this circuit to amplify the audio. For antenna use any 75 cm long wire. The supply voltage of the TDA7010T IC is between 2.7 to 10V DC therefore do not provide more than 10 volts to the IC.
