Hi Pjl.

Any wax capacitors or Hunts Moldseals should be suspect. I have found those Plessey electrolytics to be faulty on a couple of occasions. Check the one across the battery. Also check the circuit diagram to make sure the driver transformer is correctly connected.

Re lack of sensitivity. Check the coils on the ferrite rod haven't moved, or see if moving them along the rod improves things.

Good luck,
Tim
