Tinned copper wire for wiring circuit boards.
Screws bolts and other hardware. Maplin Electronics is the easiest source I can think of at the time of writing but the other links that follow may help you out.
PP3 Battery connectors. You will need 2 of these items plus 2 AA size 9V battery boxes all available from Maplin Electronics
Recommended Component Suppliers
At the time of writing Cricklewood Electronics CCTV and Electronic Components do stock all the semiconductors for this receiver project.
Maplin Electronics have a limited stock of semiconductors and the following components that are available at the time of writing are the 2 2N3819 FETs used in the VHF RF Amplifier and the 4 BC547Cs for the IF circuits. They also sell component packs of resistors and capacitors which is useful particularly if you are building other projects. Also the 1N4148 D1 and D2 silicon diodes used in the discriminator are still available at the time of writing.
I have just recently ordered some tuning capacitors from Jackson Brothers - Variable Capacitors and Drives and it seems that this appears to be the best UK supplier at the time of writing. However. Please note that these are custom made items and there may be a delivery wait of about 2 to 3 weeks depending on customer demand. They also stock the ball drives and dials used in vintage shortwave receivers that are very hard to obtain elseware.
