I viewed this on Thursday and it didn't look bad. It had about half an inch of the old cotton-covered flex on but as the end was frayed it looked like it hadn't seen any juice for a while so at least nobody had tested it before selling it.
Two of the back-retaining screws were rusted in place but I managed to open it enough to see that everything was there.
It was lotted with a fairly bog-standard clock which I thought was worth about about twenty quid so I left a bid of fifty and it did eighty; I haven't posted before as I've been waiting to find out how much it made but the auctioneers have been a bit dilatory in posting the results.
To be honest I'm pleased I didn't get it as it would have been a challenge to deal with and lack of VHF and a weird Gram socket would have limited its usefulness. I'm currently expecting a Bush VHF70 which is much more my thing. :wink:

PS As this thread has now gone well away from my initial data request perhaps it would be better elsewhere. I've just tried to do it myself but obviously can't. Old habits and all that.
