Hi
First of all am I correct in thinking this is the same radio restoration that went on for about 9 pages on UKVRR.
Apart from the valves you mentioned you have just now mentioned the potentiometer wiring and referred to the front and rear.
Here is a photo of a potentiometer, the resistance terminals are the ones on the "front" and the switch terminals which connect to the transformer and the mains are on rear. There may sometimes be 4 resistance terminals, one may be separate further round the body of the resistor, and there are often 4 terminals for the switch.
The term front and rear are normally given as if you were looking at the front of the radio not in the back of the chassis.
It is always helpful to those offering advice if you can study the advice and questions asked of you, and give clear answers backed up with good quality photos.
Was there really a need to use 2 cameras to take that fuzzy shot of the valve base?
I would suggest you study the images of the different types of valve bases posted by Yorkie and familiarise yourself with them. Then you will be able to order the correct valves, for their specific valve holder, which you are missing.
Dont forget good quality photos so we can see what you are talking about. Use plenty of light on the subject and the photos should come out clear.
