replaced the cooked wire, modified and inserted insulator and tested... ran up fine with most voltages within about 5% of the listed values. I'm actually pretty amazed that this was the only problem (so far). Its picking up several local stations without any aerial, and a very short (12") piece of wire on the aerial terminal about doubled the volume... most of the trimmers were already near enough to peaked so alignment should be straight forward (well, here's hoping) - I did measure all the capacitance's of the trimmers before pulling it apart, and reset them on reassembly.

I suppose I should do a power up video... thats for another day as I'm heading out... but all good, I'm smiling now
