Looks good. You’ll have to have a trip over to Kent to get it!

I don’t know what extra power supply outputs are available on that amplifier (if any), but you’ll have to consider what power requirements are going to be needed for a radio tuner unit. That Rogers will have 6.3 volt heaters and any extra tuner supply will be of that voltage, whereas some of the old tuners have 4 volt valve heaters – probably the original Decca unit did. Then there’s the tuner HT requirements to think about.
