Switched Aurora to band 3 and the picture cleared up all the ringing has gone, just as you said Trevor.

I then dismantled one side of the chassis and removed the tuner unit, opened it up gasped! and resealed it up. There was no way I could get at the little pF's sitting in there with pulling the internal turret apart and quite frankly at my stage of development that's one task too far and could only end in a non functioning unit.

I reassembled and checked it still worked and it did. The low emmission still persists a gentle neck tap brought the brightness up a bit.

Still not sure what to do about this and i'm still wondering about the questions in post #403

This set is just coughing up one fur-ball after another with regards to faults, a good learning set though as was the PYE.
