Ah hurd they-at!   On the 1MHBR (now at about 7 weeks, doing 
'details' ...) I didn't realize when I laid out the front panel, that it would 
be necessary to screw the coil set down so the shields would be 
firmly grounded.   I found room (and a way!) to do it, but just barely -- 
especially on the right, where the coil thumbscrew is only about 1/2" 
from the PITCH knob.   Shifting the centermost controls away from 
the center by 3/8" or so, would have made it perfect.   

No kidding, this sounds like a great project.   Hang in there!
