After a long chat with Trevor(G3VL ) , I decided to proceed and quickly found a cracked track on the board using my sawn off toothbrush and tapping technique . It works well now . All the foam packing inside had turned to dust and was removed but not replaced. The piano key switches were damaged and loose but refitted with hot glue ( not very well) and function . The sound is good and the only oddity is that it will pick up a distorted version of radio 3( 92 FM) in the 16 M band. Alignment? Doer s anyone know if this s et has panel light .I couldn't see one and it needs it IMO.
