A lot of very good advice, thanks refugee, Mark and Tracy. But what do I do if she is adamant that I don’t touch it again. Yes, I’ve dealt with the 5 pin plug and socket which were causing noise when the set was moved, cleaned and lubed the intermittent LW switch, changed the dodgy C1 and bad C9, run solder around any joints which looked suspect It was fine after that until it suddenly wasn't. Yes the presets could be dirty, but there was no difficulty when setting them up and no fluctuations when set. A fully checked replacement audio board from a scruffy donor is probably the easiest way rather than checking every component in this one, but it’s going to be a long time before she lets me touch it! She said she would however accept an immaculate replacement! Sorry, I’m being boring about this, but this particular gremlin caused havoc! ☹️
