Good afternoon Jac,
Well I summoned up the courage today and switched the set on. Signals supplied from an Aurora.
Plenty sound from the speaker so no problems in that department. As for the vision all I can say there is something apparent on the screen, all can one describe it as an extremely dull defocused mess, no hint of any modulation whatsoever. Safe to say the CRT is useless. Also, a smell of burning resistors was traced to the small unit situated between the two cabinet base mounted power units.
There's obviously a fault in the TRF receiver unit.

DFWB.
