I would second Aidans view , the Pye d 16 is a good television set but it is a very tricky one to restore ( some parts are very hard to acccess - I know , I have done one ) and also you do have the danger of the mains derived EHT which gives no second chances !
the best thing you can do it to put it aside and restore a simpler ( and safer ) set that is 5 or 6 years younger .
It would be a very good Idea to make contact with a forum member who was near to you , sadly I am far too far away , who could give you ( and your dad ) helpful advice and practical support .
Dont let any of this put you off though !
great hobby !
