What's wrong with this Vidor!

Will have to check on the serial numbers but I think its a later 58' (from a date code on the speaker). Thanks for the tip on the batteries, I can get Eveready branded 996 zinc chloride's that aren't to awful for a pound each from a work supplier, the same ones in a local shop he supplies sell for £4.99 ,markup or what? I'll look into the AA idea for the ht, I think I saw that on a post you did on the Radio TV forum?
