I guess it's about time to give this thread a bump. I did manage to get it playing somewhat on both bands, there were two bad tubes, a 50EH5 that was shorted and a very weak 12AT7. The AM broadcast band works reasonably well, the FM works but is very weak. I put it into dry dock for now until I can find the proper service information.
Regards
Arran
