I did the same thing in the late 70s with a fone company toroid and a cap. Made for one sharp CW filter. I just recently removed it from my 75A-4 receiver, didn't work that well anymore, the cap was all dried out and I don't do enough CW to need it.

You can put in an op amp analog filter for very small outlay of cash.
I can remember building my first audio filter in the dark ages around 1973. Used toroids probably surplus from the phone company to build filters, and vacuum tubes to amplify the audio signals. Worked pretty good!!! Far far easier today.

Yes I was hoping to steal someones design and spend less than 10 dollars.
Have to agree that adding a 300 dollar filter to a radio that I bought used for 45 dollars is not going to happen.
