It isn't far off working now (I think). Before I tried it, a few quick checks revealed two resistors o/c and I replaced the worst of the rotten wiring. Connected the heaters up and started by raising the HT gradually to 150 Volts. Bit of crackling and buzzing, but nothing else. Found shorts on the oscillator coil wiring where it passed through the chassis. After replacement, I can now get some hetrodyning whistles and what sounds like a teleprinter at the higher frequency end of the band. No commerical stations though. Will probably leave it for a couple of days, but feel I am getting there.
