Turret is coming along - no marks for cosmetics at this stage. Need to rig up the 'dial cord' for the tilt mechanism and decide on how the turret will run on the base unit. Hopefully I'll get that done tomorrow.
Incidentally, some of you may have noticed that I did not feature anything about etching the pcb for this project. There's a very good reason for that! While I was on my holiday travels one of the members of this great community went and etched a board for me. When I got back I found the etched board plus the two main semiconductors in a jiffy bag in my mailbox. Points (pints?) for anyone who guesses who the benefactor is. Obviously one member is disqualified as their pints are already secured
Since I got started in vintage radios, the best thing I did was find this community!
With any luck I might get to test this project out by the weekend.
Cheers, John
