Thanks David,
Fortunately the rest of the set is in reasonable condition. The dial is almost perfect - just a few bits of paint missing but not in critical areas. The knobs were seized on to the shafts but some coaxing got them off without damage. The chassis works fine (needed new audio output valve). So, once the cab is done I should have a nice radio for the collection - even though I may never find out exactly what model it is!

P.S. I've put a few video clips of the project on YouTube so if you have some time to kill one day just type 'Mystery PYE' in the search field and you should find them.
