You have to admire this kind of determination to hand-produce this wonderful result!
All the rotating wheels and strings...amazing!

This is pure eye-candy and DIY spirit and skills at state of the art level.

I have no clue of HF stuff but the execution of this project and the devotion to details is absolutely exceptional and the result just beautiful.

It somehow remembers me about what the otherwise long gone concept of "Made in Germany" once meant to be.

It's a beautiful piece of work for sure, but you're still going to get 30 to 15,000 Hz out of it at best. A modern modulation format could easily do better. I wish it would happen too, but the money will probably never be there.

All I can say is WOW!!! I only wish I could ever come close to the knowledge, skill, and craftsmanship it took to put that tuner together.
