Not discouraged at all Gary.
That kind man Yorkie gave me a little sig gen some time back, but I will come back to you a future day regarding questions about scopes etc.
In the meantime, here's my attempt at the soldering. I know it's nowhere near as professional as many will do, but I was quite pleased with the outcome. I could have paid more attention to the lead-in and lead-out wires, making sure I properly poked them through the perf board so no bare wire is showing and I should also have had the resistors all aligned with their bands the same way around, but those are things I will remember for next time. The joints are all nice and tight though and continuity is steady.

Note: Actually, it might have been a wide range oscillator he gave me - or both! Blooming memory is rubbish these days and everything is packed up in the garage for the move!
