Hi,
thanks for the replies so far..
Yes I think spray can is the way forward, is the casing made out of bakelite or plastic?

As to the strange on/off extra gain fault, the increased volume and sensitivity remain on, for as long as the radio is powered up.
Will check voltages on UY85 and the rest of the line up according to the data sheet Trader 1474, in nominal state first then compare after a quick switch on off.
The main smoothing HT cap is original, so will check values and ESR.
Steve.
