That was when I was learning to solder with one hand and before I had the Metcal iron. The wire that's off is advised to stay off, as it goes to the centre of the secondary HT side of the transformer, which as I said is faulty.
The AGC comes off that, I think, which is why the set is deaf. What I was planning to do was fit a couple of resistors, 1k say, on the two legs of the transformer, get a pot of some kind and set this for 0 volts, then put the loose wire onto that. See if it worked.
Put that wire back on and it will smoke like hell and it is the transformer, as it had 87v on it before, hence the smoke.
Good luck.
By the way, there is a Utility Dial Scan here:

If we've always had that, why is the car boot open? You aren't smuggling in another old TV are you...?
