Nice job there Mark - I really like the look of these radios and I have the Ekco version in my living room! I got it for £5 from a car boot sale, cleaned it up, replaced the capacitors and away it went!

Lately though I've noticed that on FM, it's difficult to 'peak' on the station you're tuning. Almost as if there's 'backlash' in the tuning drive. AM is OK though. Not sure why that is and haven't investigated it. Too many other things on the go!
