Thanks Robert, this is extremely helpful. The dial scan will at least let me consider how I might make a replica further down the road. Thanks for the location of the antenna coupling capacitor. It turns out that on my selector switch that lug is 'missing' so I found a blob of solder on the stator piece it was connected to - so I soldered a replacement cap to that - so far so good.
The slight difference in cap values is because I selected an input voltage of 120V versus 110V (apologies for the typo). In any case I've ordered up both 10uF and 12uF motor run caps just in case.
In general I'd say my plan to run the set off 110v is down to lack of experience/confidence with this type of set. As I get more comfortable with these types of design I'm sure I will be more adventurous and jump more than one stage at a time.
I know I would never have made it this far without the help of yourself and the rest of the team - major thanks all round!
Hopefully the bits will arrive on Friday so I will see about getting the dropper done at the weekend (today is the Swiss National Holiday so everything is closed here).
Cheers, John
