I started today on the Twinplex Regenerative Receiver. The parts have piling up since my friend James told me he found a good receiver design to build. He has gleaned great results with his and says it is a hot little receiver. (good enough for me)
Here is the box O' Parts. Those Big knobs are vintage NOS I picked up very cheap. I did buy some more of the cloth covered wire from

No affiliation. I just like the product.
After some tedious measuring and layout, I finally found a layout I liked. Let the drilling begin....
The front panel holes are in place, now for the chassis front hole placement. My drill press is just big enough to be able to mark (with the drill bit) the chassis with the front panel still attached. This means all the holes will match up perfectly.
Here is a view of the parts for the front panel dry fitted to the chassis. Everything lines up perfectly so the front panel is now ready to be painted. The paint of choice is going to be hammer-tone green. Green you say? Yep green...(Is it starting to look like a radio yet?)
More to come...
