Indeed Lawrence: something like the arrangements you suggest is more-or-less what I had in mind for that F.E.T. cct. And on the related topic of valves suitable for regen. ccts., I've always favoured the 6BR7: it has a remarkably low gm - in the order of 1.25 mA/V. I built such a regen. RX many, many years ago using one: a cct. published in Practical Wireless by F.G. Rayer (G3OGR) - and it worked very well.
