Thanks PJL and Turretslug your help is invaluable. Yes the new rectifier seems to be better. Will look into the above and other previous suggestions ref the speaker coil etc.

I am not getting anything if hooking up the ipod to the pick-up input - should it just be a case of plugging in to the jack or do I need to do anything else. If I max the volume when doing this I can just hear the faintest of sound to recognise that the ipod is playing.

Ideally I want to get this section sorted before moving on to do any radio alignment stages.
