Simon,
Why worry about the extremely minute amount of radiation from small tuner
coils and components when this is hopelessly swamped by radiation from the
nearby antenna, even from the back of a beam, and there's always some
significant amount from the feedline.

Exactly. Well said Reg. I have seen a beautifully working 1KW antenna
tuner constructed on a breadboard. Completely open and very nice to look
at also. No TVI. No interference. Save yourself the hassle and expense and
build it without an enclosure at all (as long as your pet cat doesn't like
to wander around your shack while you operate!).

Well, the OP did not specify whether it'd be installed at the shack
or at the antenna.
