Hi all,
and thank you for the information & compliments. Lissen certainly produced some quantity of sets. I had no idea they were so prolific. The cabinet of the Pye set is (In my opinion), not as stylish as the Lissen. They both feature the Tuneon tuning indicator, The one on the Pye was tired but the Lissen indicator looks unused and works a treat. I suspect it has not been connected for a while because when I removed the chassis the wires to the Tuneon were trapped under the edge of the chassis and the insulation cut through.
All sorted now and listening to radio 4 Medium wave. Only the two useful radio stations on AM here now, radio 4 & radio 5. Radio Newcastle has a medium wave station here but the signal is rubbish and at night is drowned out by all kinds of crudd.
When it gets too bad I power up my pantry transmitter and re transmit Classic FM.
Paul.
