The JFET matcher is an ancient and established piece of tech around here lol, this site has a layout for one
here. The one you linked is slightly different, but I (and many others) can vouch for the one I linked. I built this matcher and a germanium transistor tester into one of those handheld enclosures with a self-contained voltmeter and it's one of my most useful tools.
Through all the worry and pain we move on
