First off thank you for all the replies, here is a pic of the magic eye and you can see the broken filament. When the flash and smell happened I was watching from the front so I was unable to see where exactly it happened. Once the case was off I only was able to see the magic eye valve discoloured and removed it and the fuse that was shot. At first I was going by burnt smell sleuthing (amateur I know) someone mentioned the "rectifier" don't know where that is, I will take some pics of the inside you might be able to point it out for me. I have the schematics, but that will be a learning curve for me, have to start somewhere. While I did have it running it had excellent tone, and sensitivity to pull in stations. 1250 Kr was a lot of money in 1965. I am prepared to repair it and do the work myself if I can find replacement parts or modern equivalents.

The other Tandberg equipment I have are TP41, 10XD, 2075, 3014 and 2025.
