So i finished of wiring the receiver up and putting power and an antenna on it and having a tune about. Well it works, I was receiving the Manly Warringah radio club doing an open night for the cubs, where the cubs were sending their names back and forth using the phonetic alphabet. The kids were having fun and enjoying the radio. Also, a number of Japan and Indonesian stations were copied as well as some VK3 and 5 stations on CW. All in all, I am happy with the radio other than the finicky tuning system.
This is how i had the receiver setup on the bench for its initial test.
Did not plan the internal layout all that smartly, but it did fit in there eventually.
And it looks all pretty with its nobs on.
