Yes, I have found when building regenerative receivers wood is the best
chassi. However a metal front panel is a must. However I only use

battery

tubes with low voltage. Never more than 45 volts. But when building
solid-state regeneratives. A good ground plane helps. Build it the dead
bug way.






'Dead bug' refers to IC's mounted upside down with their legs
sticking up in the air like a dead roach.
