That is nice Adrian,
I enjoy building similar sets, but generally modify them several times then use some of the parts for the next one, so they are not as neat as yours. I also have several 1920s/30s built sets, including one which had with it, a beautifully hand written list of stations and the apprpriate dial settings. The only commercially built one is a Cossor Melody Maker; the rest being home made or from kits (Scott-Taggart).
Did you wind your own coils and are you thinking of trying short wave? A slow motion drive would be a nice touch and quite useful; they are around and can be found at jumbles for little money.
