..I am certainly more confident with the ally cases once i have been inside and re-glued the insulating sheets- the tolerances are fairly tight in there should a wire come adrift!

In the interests of balance i should say that it appears i screwed up in one respect with the Model 4. I was unaware that these early models had teeny 4BA terminal knobs. Had i accepted the offer of a pair of early knobs instead of forging ahead with the belling-lee mod. the originality of the whole might well have been closer. Check first, drill second. Oops moment.
