Here are the answers to your questions:

Q: your pic shows all 3, 3650pf caps tied to just *1* resistor; mine shows 1 resistor for each of these 3 caps ??
A: That is correct, this is what Al recommended

Q: what type of wire you like to use?
A: I have tried several including Gold alloy (gold, silver, copper mixure), 5N copper, 4N silver from two sources and Cardas 5N silver. I have not tried pure gold yet. So far the wire I like the best is Cardas 24ga. 5N silver from Percy. I also polish the Cardas wire.

Q: is that microsorb underneath the RC's?
A: Yes it is Microsorb. I tried the wrapping teflon tape as Al does. So far, I find that the Microsorb seems to work the best.

Q: where might I pick up a plastic enclosure? That's a good idea
A: Radio Shack, the dimensions are 1"H x 2"W x 3" long. $2.69. I use brass screws instead of the steel screws that come with the enclosure. I also use a brass bolt, nut and washer for the TI-Shield (see the lead with a loop coming off of the last resistor).
