Default Re: Philips BX281U20 valve radio

Pic attached, the dropper is attached to the transformer at the back of that silver screen plate. Which is connected to mains switch set at 220v. So should not need to change that.
Yes its metal back with looks like stand offs on chassis but their metal.
Not sure if it's me but does that look like an additional octal base attached on top of another where the uy1n valve sits to the far right was absolute nightmare to pull the valve out seemed stuck. Looks fine underneath.
Pic of aerial connection with additional capacitor.
