Sorted the so-and-so!
Steve was right (of course be was!) back in Post 32. I'd been confused as I was mixing the switch connections up.
I'd ruled everything else out so tried it in desperation thinking if that didn't work it was going on e-Bay in bits.
The only defence I have, apart from stupidity, is that it's an absolute pig to work on and I've been spoilt with so many Bush sets. At least I've learnt more than I would have if I'd done that in the first place.
It still needs tidying and hopefully I'll be able to replace the valves I've pinched out of it at Golborne.
There's a volume adjustable hum, which is particularly noticeable on VHF; that's now working thanks to a new ECC85. Hopefully getting rid of the remaining Hunt's will shift it.
Thanks for the help. I may well set Steve on the Pye next month, it won't stand a chance.
