Really more luck than anything else, particularly as it was probably my first repair but I was looking into grandad's radio with him when I was in my teens. We determined a valve was not lighting up so I suggested I go to John Birkett's in Lincoln and buy another. I went there and bought one then rode my bicycle over to Newark where he lived and fitted the valve. We were both really happy when it lit up then the set burst into life.
