Today saw the first serious work on the circuitry. Thought I would start on a few caps around the output stage. This soon descended into replacing short runs of wiring, as the rubber insulation of the original would tolerate nothing. This was fiddly and frustrating, and also revealed the cut ends and clipped leads of a number of repairs over the years. One paper cap was simply clipped at one end, and a disc type soldered across the valve socket to replace it. Time to tidy up
Lots of out of tolerance reistors too, many of which are possibly replacements themselves.
I did find that my stock of film caps is in good order, and should furnish most, if not all the required parts to replace the paper parts.
Quite a bit more work in this one than I anticipated.
Cheers
Ed

it certainly won't be metric! SAE threads were all that was known then. Take care, - GaryGarySP — 10:58 AM |

Thankyou for the kind words sir.
I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM |
