Had an hour to spare so I checked C48 & C49. Marked 6/47 8.4v, sheet says 5uf 6v Duff, magic box thought they were diodes!
Replaced with all I could lay my hands on, 4,7uf 63v. Wired up the speaker and tested, it works on all bands, no hum, thanks guys for the directions.
Now I have to find some bulbs or fit a couple of LEDs with the correct ballast resistors and restring that horrible cord drive. Somewhere I have some wire ended tiny bulbs.
My fine bead cord is not fine enough, it falls off the drum when the drive reaches the end and the spring tension lessens. The original cord is less than 1mm in diameter and fits in grooves in the drum.
I will have to try fishing line if I can find some, not the sort of thing that I have ever had.
