I filaly found the fault! An intermittent connection between the coax. aerial cable, it's in-line choke and the aerial trimmer. Having checked and put back the oscillator trimmer & padder caps (no measurable faults in these), reception was still poor, but intermittent due to the above fault, though the stations are at approximately the correct positions on the dial. Did I correct a bad connection or dry solder joint removing & refitting the capacitors? I'll never know now!!
