BITX20 - 16. Building the external vfo part 2

Ok, finally i got most parts now.... thanks to ebay :) ... i ordered about 1200 capacitors, and the transistors i had a problem with getting where i live, the 2N2369.

A HAM friend of mine provided me with the 2 trim capacitors. which were the last parts needed to fill up the PCB.





Next problem will be the 2k multi turn potentimeter, but there is a HAM fair next weekend again :)
And if i have no luck , another one 2 weeks after that. So i guess this will be easy.

When this is working, I'll start to put the bitx20 together , cause the last part is the PA part, which seems not that time intensive. so maybe this year it will be done. (Remember i never was in a hurry to build this :) )
