At the moment, I can't see any big problems with that approach (except the age of the paper). I should look at the mainstream critic's views of this paper, to absorb it all (this'll probably be a spaghetti jungle, however).

I do see a lot of problems here.
It looks very much as RF engineer-like approach... and this is what is wrong here.
Being myself a RF engineer, I cant see how oscillations are generated in this model.
Also I don't see anu explanation for sudden glitches (in neutron star model, this was explained as star-quake).
Interesting mind-game, intellectual exercise..... but that's all me thinks.
