Thanks both. I'll look at maybe getting some pictures and maybe even expanding with much more detail. As to the repair, I needed a second sig gen to complete the alignment on my Marconi 2955R which I have recently repaired.
There's a huge write up on that over on the Marconi Instruments forum for anyone who's on there. Got stuck with the alignment of the sensitive RX on that which calls for a second sig gen to complete.
I will say, that as difficult as the Marconi was, this Farnell did give me a bit of a challenge. But as I used to work for Marconi comms some years ago after leaving the Royal Signals, that bit of kit I was fairly familiar with. And, the technical manual is superb, unlike the Farnell one which is pretty dire.
Next up is an old Ever Ready battery powered valve radio from 1947. Just because I can
