I do have the DVD of service information sold by UK Vintage Radio Service Data. Unfortunately, neither your set nor mine are included in the DVD.
It appears that your radio was painted gray, and that paint may be original? Some dummy painted mine red.At least now I know that the background for the dial is supposed to be burgundy in color.
Thank you Ron, now at least I know a model similar to mine exists. I am going to try to find someone locally that is able to test the tubes and try to get it working, I am not qualified to go sticking my fingers in that nest of wires .
