Thank you very much Andy.
Just like Sparks I'd like to think my little projects would spur on the novices in home brew or even simple projects.
The Russian Rod valves should help novices with valve projects as they run on low HT and in this day of OTT H&S these have to fit the bill. Most valve circuits are forgiving unlike with transistors, so unless you are really careless then it is unlikely you'll ruin a valve.
You are right Andy the component count is small and again easier for the novice.
I am considering using the same double sided board on the transmitter rebuild with the valves pushed through the board, so connections will be made on both sides, this should give the completed TX a squarer appearance but also aid screening. Might be a week before it's all done though.
