Breathtaking work there, thanks for the pic! This is very much 'my' era. I was six years old at the time, very impressed by tech and extremely fascinated by these forays for years after. I was just starting to dissassemble my first valve radio to see what was inside.
It was quite a careful dissection for my age and I kept the most impressive looking components and tried to find out what they did: not easy as I didn't have a mentor of any kind, but I was quite patient. I remember being very intrigued by the big multi-gang tuning capacitor as well as by the internal construction of the valves.
