Hi Col
I was expecting a nice meaty fault to get stuck into; oh well, you can't win 'em all.
My guess was that the TV/FM switch was tracking occasionally, but this had burnt itself off after a while. If the fault recurs, that's the first suspect.
The wirewounds you showed me that had got red hot but were still intact apart from the coating - not unusual as they rarely go O/C for that reason.
After a few minor twiddles the test card looked great, and the CRT is excellent. The VHF was even pulling in a few stations without a proper aerial.
Just like the T311 we had as our main set in the pre-colour era! Apart from the cabinet, of course.
