Thanks David,

I have got the radio up and running, phew, but that leads me to a couple more questions!

The radio has three 'tuning' options - Ranges 1, 2 & 3.
I am presuming that equates to LW and 2x SW bands?

Also, the transformer: I took a good look at it today and it is not what I am used to seeing in power supplies!
It appears to be layer upon layer of a paper-type substance, with the power lead sandwiched between them.
A mate was round earlier and I showed him the set and he said "Cut the flex inside the cabinet and use the plastic screw-down, wire connectors to attach a new flex".
Is that what you guys would do!?

It certainly would make the job easier for me!!
But is it right/safe?
