Iceni 70cm Transverter from G4DDK - Part 3

I've finally started on finishing the Iceni transverter I've used the same case layout as the Anglian.

Front Panel

PA Heatsink

Rear Panel

Internal Layout
I've a bit more room inside the Iceni as I've used a Tohtsu CX-120A relay in place of the old Pye relay I had available for the Anglian which is a pity as the Pye was a nicer relay and had better isolation in comparison.  

Next up on the list is to start wiring it all up but least the hard bit is now done as I hate enclosure fabrication. 

I fitted a Kuhne QH30A heater to the Iceni' crystal so it'll need to be realigned but I'll wait until I've made up the LO inject cable and socket as the extra capacitance knock the frequency off by about a 100Hz.
