Spurred on by Joe, I've just acquired one of these 'FMT1' Jasonkit tuners on e-bay for a modest 99p!
There's a 1965 Practical Wireless advert for Jasonkits here:
http://vintageradio.me.uk/kits/jtv_2.htm
There isn't a picture of the FMT1 in the ad, but they were listed in the ad at £5.19s 0d, (plus valves, plus PSU, plus an amp). At today's prices, accounting for inflation, £5.19s 0d equates to £83.00! (My 99p equates to 7p in 1965). I was surprised to see that there's next to nothing other than anecdotal recollections on t'internet about Jasonkits, and AFAIK, no-one has turned up a circuit (unless anyone knows different?) It will be interesting to see if it works when it arrives!
