Hi there, thanks for your contribution.
No evidence of "Unauthorised" service work.
The switch is OK. Cold checks so far haven't revealed any shorts. Clearly when mains is applied something objects as the mains fuse blows immediately.

I now suspect the main smoothing block. I'll try fitting the NOS replacement when I find it in due course.
