Nick, that's amazing work, thank you for sharing it.
I assume that the components identified as "New component or changed value" are the P. F Vaughan (kaylee20) modifications. In your experience are these worth undertaking? There is something slightly unsatisfactory about diverging from the intended design. (Not that I'm hung up over originality, it isn't as if I've got the last one!)
I've read about not using the UL41 pin 4 as a soldering tag, to help preserve the valve. Is this worth considering (and adding to the layout)?
Terry, thank you for clearing that up for me. If I don't come across a spare I will ask Ed to rewind mine. But for now I'm in no hurry to farm out work, it isn't as though I'm in any rush.
Off topic: the hardest part of starting a new hobby is not having loads of stuff, tools and spares, lying around. In the past I've wasted joyful hours in working on old motorbikes, Land Rovers and old clocks. Now I have no rusty frames or oily gearboxes hanging around, I hope that my other half will be a bit forgiving it I happen upon a few old radios.....
