[Bufo Bill]

I keep reading words to the effect of "proper lead dress is vital", but never explain what you should be doing to make your leads well dressed. Can anyonegive me some advice or pointers on this topic?

Getting this thing down to a size that would fit in a large project box is a nightmare with the dead bug approach. I might never have started this if I knew then that Veroboard was not a good option.

Nearly ready to test the circuit though, maybe a few hours more work. That will be spread over a couple of weeks though, so don't hold your breath.
Cheers from Bill.
