Sorry, John yes you're correct it does in fact and is quite clear not sure why I missed it.

Indeed it turns out to be an FM board...which, as far as I know, was never fitted to the Mk1 like mine.

Not quite sure if its a lash up mod or not but the dimmer rotary control has been converted to the FM squelch control with its 3 wires going to a plug in socket on the board.

If I thought I could remove it without to much trouble I would.

I wonder if I manage to pick up an AM board is it a plug and plug fittment...or will it req alignment.

Anybody want to swap an AM board for an FM board.

Nick.
