Thanks Mike. Yes, it could have been interference of course. I have found that the mains switch is jammed and a previous repairer has just shorted it out! OK on the waxy capacitors, I have some replacements left over from my DAC90a refurb earlier this year and I'll change them all eventually. I checked all the resistors in situ and none seem too far out of tolerance. The cabinet needs some attention but I'm not great at woodwork. It's intact but in need of some TLC.

I'll try it on the lamp limiter tomorrow.

All the best
Ken

I would like to replace the volume/off-on switch, any idea where I could get one? 2M ohm, Log with DPST switch and fairly long shaft.
