Mmm, I'd noted that the tuning caps, the Acorn base and the coil sockets were assembled as a single entity, but hadn't spotted the two caps to be mechanically fabricated and part of that entity.

I'd be quite happy if my version would operate to ~150MHz, rather than 430 (?) MHz of the original, so I might get away with a good but more conventional assembly?
