Set now works on medium wave and long wave but no local oscillator on shortwave. The main fault turned out to be the fact that I'd missed off two components in the rebuild - a resistor and cap on the output of the second IF transformer (Doh!).
I had to put it aside for a while so I could look at it with fresh eyes. After a week I saw what was blindingly obvious but didn't see it last time. After spending so much time on it I couldn't look objectively anymore but after a break I was once again able to see the wood and the trees!
Hopefully the SW oscillator problem won't be too big a problem to resolve.
Cheers, John
