Very nice work indeed. The new grille cloth really looks the part, and I love the idea of a battery set that looks like a valve one, even down to the dial illumination.

I like the way the PCB has the semicircular cutout for the TP11's LS even though it's entirely redundant in this set. Is the Celestion LS original? My TP11 has what looks like an R&A elliptical unit.

I have a TP11, and touch wood, the transistors are still fine, but all the Hunts Mouldseals, and Plessey electrolytics needed changing for reliable operation.

BTW, how long did this twin ferrite aerial business continue for? I can't say that I've ever seen it in later sets.
