    Looks line one damn FB tuner. I'm a total aficionado of that kind of tuner construction (been known as the Tuner of Death), but have considered making one that's switched and enclosed. Gave up on that project when I got a Matchbox.

    That pic shows just how simple a really good tuner is - takes little time to construct. Finding the parts can be tricky, but they're out there & available and not all that expensive.

    Super!

    FWIW -- I didn't have a proper "link coupled coil." No problem. The Handbook circuit made the coil out of one piece of standard coil stock. Two cuts are made, making three coils. Two equal ones on the outside - that's the output side, and the inside coil (smaller) is the link. Worked fine.

    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
