Hi Gary.
You may remember I did a similar repair to my Wellbrook many years ago with just two transistors. Two of 2N2222A in my circuit. No lightening protection or diodes across the loop. It's 100 times better than the Wellbrook designed amp, which corrodes and actually has more output than the original. It gives useful gain even in the air band. I've even done TV DX on band 1 with it a few years ago.
Glad you fixed the antenna for just a few quid, have fun.
