[Goodfellas]

Thanks Top Cap for the advice, and rest assured I will be taking the upmost care when working on it.

And regarding originality, I agree, I prefer the idea of keeping the design of normal production radios in an original state, even when there's an occasional desire to modify them. I'd feel too guilty if i did this.

But with this non-standard kit radio I would feel less guilty to making any changes. In fact, I may add illumination for the tuning dial (which will also illuminate the red bezel between the two control knobs). Perhaps a couple of neon bulbs for a subtle glow, or a low voltage bulb if I can tap the supply from the transformer (without overloading it). Or another way if I can find it.

Also, I do plan to draw a circuit diagram of this radio, which will be interesting.

Cheers for the schematic, this will give me a good basic overview.
