Yes indeed, I've built a few things like
that. Very short hunks of
dowel at the corners for "feet" so that screw heads wouldn't be dragging,
and fahnstock (sp?) clips for the connections "off-board". :-)
Oddly most of the tubes and small parts you can find for still
bread-boarding a radio. It is only the transformers and coils
that are a pain to find as they say use ABC-123 coil for the broadcast
band and XYZ-987 for ... . But if you like breadboard radios check out
http://www.schmarder.com/radios/index.htm and Dave's fine collection.
I'll try and have a look tomorrow, as I'm fading fast here. :-)
