Following the advice given in the VRRRDF thread, I removed, with some difficulty, the clip, and was thus able to take the chassis out of the cabinet. There are some waxed paper capacitors which I'm in the process of changing, and I may well replace the selenium rectifier with a 1N4007 + series resistor. The main problem, other than a crackly w/c switch, is the on/off switch, which is high resistance. As far as I can see, the Volume & Tuning Knobs are of the 'push-on' type, but are stuck fast, so how to remove them without damaging the glass scale plate, I know not. Daren't try to lever them off!!
The slotted end of the w/c switch knob is also broken, which is going to be a problem., otherwise the radio should be repairable without too much difficulty.
