Might be difficult with this unit Andy. It appears to be a purpose built IF unit. There are no holes drilled for the RF/Mixer bit! Could be done of course but it's a labour of love of course.

I guess GEC could produce a simple I.F. unit in less time than it took to strip and modify the originals. I expect demand overpowered the time factor.

Got the busy weekend over and with a bit of luck will install the new pot panel.

I will then investigate the tuner. Regards, John.
