I'm hoping that I don't need to dismantle this as it would mean tackling the drive cord - something I'd rather avoid! Just can't work out how the black switch component fits onto the tuning spindle?

In an earlier Thread someone has already noted that C30 (tone correction and spike suppression) is wired from the Primary of the Output Transformer to the chassis and not across the two terminals of the OT where it's failure is less likely to cause damage. The advice was to leave the circuit position the same, but use a 1000V rated capacitor? Would one of my 630V Polyester Axial Capacitors be sufficient?

And while we are here I'm assuming that C3 and C34 associated with the aerial sockets need to be Y-class but what voltage?
