Hi, my son has recently bought a Dynatron radiogram from a charity shop and we thought it might be fun to try to get it working (plug was cut off when found).

The model number has faded/fallen off but we can see 1511 on the sticker still, it looks like it may be a CG but we can't find anything about it online.

Plugging it in, the turntable spins but it doesn't look like the radio or tape deck have power. Fuses look fine and we can't see any obvious broken connections / missing wires etc.

We're wondering if there are any resources that might help us get this working. No real electronic knowledge but we're happy to learn! Getting everything powered up is probably stage 1 so any advice would be appreciated.
