Despite the rather senseless carping (c'mon boys, cut the crap!), this is
cool! Thanks for posting it!

I agree. An interesting post. And now for my usual dumb questions :-)

1. Have you built one (or more) and if so, could we see a photo?

2. What do you mean by "star grounding technique?"

Star grounding is a VHF/UHF grounding technique. VHF and higher have to
have VERY short lead dress, including grounding. Star grounding is basically
taking the grounds from each pin that requires a ground or a bypass to the
closest point possible on the chassis. This makes the socket and
grounds/bypasses resemble a star.
