Thanks John. When I flip the system switch on this set, the line sped changes but nothing else seems to- ie I get a UHF picture at 405 speed. Clearly there has been modification somewhere to render this set 625 only.
I need to take the tube out and paint some more aquadag on it as it has a tendency to fizz around patches that have come off. While it's out I will take a good look at the systems switch and also replace the 625 S capacitor which is hard to get to with the tube in.Stephen
