Thank you for this information. The search option on this site didn't find any results; I see that I should have searched the archives manually.

I will post some photos once I clean this set up and determine the way ahead. The tuner is frozen and, unfortunately, someone in the past removed the 6V power supply and substituted a multi-tap power transformer and selenium rectifier. I've some work ahead of me.

Cheers,

Scott
