The original shield for the output stage was missing before I owned this rig. Thus I made a new one from holed thinker. The large hole brings access to the neutralizing trimmer.

Again, nice work! I remember that perforated sheet used to be common in old Pye equipment, I wonder where it may be readily available from now- at an affordable price?

I used a piece of it saved during several years from an old PC monitor. More than 10 years stored. I cut it to the desired size with a thinker scissors and made the holes for screwing it to main chassis and neutralizing cap with a Dremel machine. The sheet is made of steel, but easy to home working. Thanks for your comments.
