The set is now working well on all wavebands, even though SW position and LW position are swopped around in regards to the wavechange switch. Perhaps it is another wavechange knob from another set but certainly matches the others so not quite sure what went on here.
I'm awaiting on a braided mains cable to install then the set chassis can be installed and put on test for several hours. I shall look forwards to writing my success story.
Many thanks to everyone who has helped, given advice and followed this throughout this lengthy repair.
Many thanks.
Dave.
