Hi everyone, I'm pleased to report that this set ,albeit without its head unit now goes and goes well. What I thought was a 6V6 turned out to be a 6K6 and the 75 had been replaced with a 6Q7. The vibrator (synchronous ) took some persuading to go but has started reliably ever since. Distortion caused by a leaky coupling capacitor to the grid of the 6K6 was an initial worry but once the cap was replaced it goes well.Overall it has been a pleasing repair,
