Hi all,

Calling all Baird experts! I've been restoring this lovely T164 'portable' over the last couple of weeks. Progress has been good and I'm now at a point where its time to inject a signal. Sadly the set is totally deaf, no sound or vision whatsoever and I can't get anything except a blank raster.
I'm under the impression this is a Birmingham (ch4) set, although have been through all the Aurora channels which hasn't made a difference. The two rear mounted fuses are upright in their 'External Aerial' positions. I have made up a simple bit of aerial lead with the original two pin plug one end, and a female co-axial connector the other. Does this look correct? I'd like to rule out anything silly as its unusual to have no signals. I have tried a few replacement 10F1's to replace V1 & V2 also with no improvements. Voltages all seem up to spec. Has anyone encountered similar with a T164?
