Thanks to everyone on here, I'm getting close to finishing this restoration off now! FM is working ( even with the internal dipole - although I made an external one yesterday - which is louder ).

MW although of course "muddy' by comparison to FM, is coming out clear, my main concern now, is this symptom of FM stations being "squelchy" ? ( can't remember the proper term ) Like, I need to be slightly off centre tuning to get a clearer tone - although still got a clipped overdriven sound to my ears. This happens with both the internal and the external FM aerial.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Pete
