Managed to find some time to play radios again...

When I switched it on previously there were no burning smells.

I've removed recifier valve - moving the retaining spring out of the way first.

I switched the set and on and kept a close eye on the transformer - no smoke or anything else I'm pleased to say (though I still don't like the look of the transformer).

I've measured the AC Voltage at the taps on the secondary side of the mains transformer - see attached. Voltage comapres quite well to Bush service sheets (no load):
Scale 10V - Mine 10V
Heater 130 - Mine 127V
HT 285 - Mine 270V
