Thanks, Mark, I'll check it out tomorrow as my back has had enough of bending over it for today.
Alan: to me a 'Vintage' radio without dial lights is like a spaniel without ears. I was also prompted by wondering why it was apparently dead but was switched off on the socket. At least if something lights up you know it's getting power. I suppose Freddie Mercury hit it: "I'd sit alone and watch your light, my only friend through teen-age nights."
I'm sure it wasn't fitting them that's directly done any harm; I must have disturbed something while doing so and if there is a dry joint of iffy valve base it's as well it was flushed out.
Thanks again for the tips.
