Thanks Chris,

I found another EY51 which I swapped out of my TV24 before realising that the ion-trap was on backwards! So hopefully there was nothing wrong with it!

I'll try the PL&PY81 in the valve tester but have been a bit loath to disturb them as the top caps connectors are more or less rusted on. Most things I touch seem to be rusted solid or fall off....or both!

Is great fun - I would have been really disappointed if it had worked first time. I reckon if it keeps me from boozing all week it will have paid for itself!
