Measures' "superior attitude" strikes again.  For generations amateurs 
have been taught to tune g-g amplifiers for maximum output. Tune for 
plate/screen dip, load for specified screen current is foreign ... just 
listen to the garbage from some of the mistuned tetrode amplifiers 
that have been showing up over the last couple years.

Why do you insist on this kind of stuff?  The designer already said 
that a vacuum capacitor was not acceptable as is a rotary inductor, 
no doubt.  There is a significant cost impact (not including the 
need for a bandswitch on the input anyway) that would make such a 
product commercially unviable. 

Not everyone shares your design priorities (amplifiers with > $4.5K 
in parts).  If you don't have anything positive to contribute keep 
your hands off the keyboard.
