It’s alive! Thank you Solder Smoke team. My winding on PTO bit loose, I think I’ll just hot glue gun it. Tuning is delicate, but front panel added some friction. Need to swap audio pot (used linear I had handy), and speaker is 12R (from junk box). Audio stage has a lot of gain – that stage alone did pick up loud AM station with my finger as antenna :). Thanks again de Piotr KD9NHZ
