Interesting...
Those edge connectors look like standard spacing. In fact, they must be
because of the connector that they plug into. One could probably get
prototype blank boards with edge connectors like that.
What I'd like to try is building a 60 meter module or modifying a 40
meter module to work on 60 meters, if I could get a spare 40 m module
(for less than $90!).

The module circuits of the Scout/ 556 look pretty simple to tune up. I
have had mine apart considering what it would take to extend the 10m
range to the high end of ten.
The box is not too complicated. A suitable box could be fabricated of
hobby plastics. The RF connectors are really coaxial power jacks
mounted on the filter circuit board. Everything else enters/ leaves
thru PCB edge fingers.
It is an elegant design, and has proved quite durable in spite of some
feeling the plug in boxes would not hold up.
