Hello Paula, yes when I get this little project underway I will give the cascode a go, the gain of the RF stage is not that critical as regens have plenty of that, it's more to do with isolating the A/E input and RF preselection from the rest of the circuitry and visa versa.
The PCC88 was quite a reliable valve, I remember the turrett TV tuners well, clunk, clunk it was the Cyldon turret tuner in my early days followed by the Fireball tuner then the Phillips printed coil tuners.
