The only way to proceed with the amp/psu is to remove everything and refurbish the chassis so anything is possible. The wiring is a hotchpotch of wires, many with rubber insulation brittle and falling to bits, and oddments of plastic coverings, and soldering extremely bad with bits falling off.

The deal-breaker is the mains transformer. If it's suffered from damp and developed shorted turns the amp will be relegated to display only. I do have a spare KT66 p/p output transformer and I can maybe find a spare choke or two.

Before I do anything with this I'd iike to get the receiver going. Fortunately, much to my surprise, my valve collection yielded two new 6B8 valves.
I've already discovered alignment will be a pain because the tuning has only one setting... very very slow motion.
