I've got this sorted out electronically.
VHF was dead because I'd pulled a wire off while investigating that 1µF waxie. After fixing that it worked but was still way too quiet. I then gave myself something of a talking to: If this was MW you'd be checking the alignment so grow up and do it.
The IF was a mile out, so much so that I thought I must be doing it wrong and I'm surprised it was working at all. The RF was also a bit out but I couldn't make sense of the instructions for that so did it by guess and my God and all is now well with it.
David gave me a replacement 1µF cap, so thanks to him for that.
There are some scratches on the case and I'll see how they respond to polishing.
