Default Re: Philips BX281U20 valve radio

Wow many thanks Lawrence that all makes sense to me it did stump me that wax cap. So that ground lug at the back should have ground wire attached to it from aerial socket but is missing. Y safety cap think makes sense as x type I've only used on mains so y cap is if you have live chasis? I think I read somewhere that when you switch the voltage over it short circuits the dropper resistor so that should be automatic or have I physically got to bypass it? Well I'll have a good look round it tomorrow too tired today no ****** energy.
