Perhaps a seeperate thread is required, but I'm following the original layout as closely as possible. I've put modern yellow capacitors in the paxo;in sleeves which housed the original caps, and am remounting them in their original positions. Something which puzzled me was the use of bare tinned copper wires for most of the connections, including some which carry HT. Presumably the use of sleeving would add capacitance, and thus upset the alignment? As to the subject of this thread, I haven't yet been able to receive R. Caroline on 648, despite having tried several times on 2 or 3 AM radios, including a 1964 Cossor Transistor Portable, which is one of the most sensitive radios I've come across in recent years!
