This set is one of two I acquired at the same time.
The previous owner must have been a bit clumsy as the chassis was propped up in order to access the controls due to three of the fixings being broken away from the cabinet.
I powered it up and the electronics were fine apart from the low ends of both bands cutting out sharply at the same place on the dial.
The chassis now has to come out without snapping the dial.
I opted for a different method to most after having a peep down between the aerial and the chassis and spotted access to push it off by the spring retaining ring.
With the chassis out without the broken dial tears the tuning capacitor was shorting and stopping all signals at the low end of the bands.
I took it out and prepared it to go to the special menders.
This is where I sent it.

While the capacitor was away the cabinet can be sorted out.
