I have a similar model, like yours repaired around 30 odd years ago and then simply cast aside as more attractive receivers came along. Maybe I'll get it out sometime..
Thanks John. Oh, I don't know about "incredibly ugly" - certainly no oil-painting but not that bad. Having said that I wonder what the designer was thinking when he came up with that shape. Perhaps he'd had a few tinnies himself the night before.

I think you ought to get yours sorted out as well John. They're definitely more interesting than plain old TV24s etc.
