Thanks for the feedback.

The recesses for the pots on the front are also dust traps, but the knobs can easily be removed to allow for a polish.

The colours listed in the service manual are cream, anthracite & red, a common colour for 1980s portables. Every component has an ordering code, including the ones for different coloured cases.

I'm not keen on those tiny wheels for tuning either, especially after the remote broke on my family's Goodmans & this was the only way to change channels!

I also noted the lack of a carrying handle, but the base has an edge so I can get my fingers under. My Toshiba is also lacking a handle, but has a similar edge.

After playing about with the controls to get the best picture I noticed there is a slight green bias to the screen, even with the colour turned right down.
