can I substitute the detector for a 1N34?

You might do rather well with a zero bias schottky diode.

Failing that, any germamium point-contact type (like the 1N34) would be a

I'll go with the 1N34. I'm also going to install a 1S5 tube as a
second detector, switchable between the two, with a 'D' cell powering
the filament.
