Alan,
Thank you those photos. They are particularly useful to this Thread since they show what the inside should look like in the vicinity of the mains transformer & HT rectifer area above chassis ~ to wit, the absence of an errant 6SN7 twin-triode!
Two minor points:
(1) I notice that mine does not have the legend "H.F. GAIN" on the front panel. That's a bit strange, since the panel looks very much the original and there is no evidence that the engraving for that lettering has been filled-in by a subsequent front panel re-spray.
(2) I also observe that the name plate on the front top right is missing on mine. Now why, I have to ask myself, should someone remove that? I suppose that somehow it could have become seriously damaged, so it was decided that it "had to go". However, seems very unusual for such a plate could become so damaged
I suppose that this is just another example of what time and meddlesome fingers do to old comms. receivers as the years pass by. Ho hum: all makes work for the working man to do, as the saying goes.
Al.
