Thank you both. The voltages are fine and the components do not look suspect, and I know that the alignment has been tampered with - scores on the top of the coils, etc, and the fact that I'm getting anything - I know who had it, and he starts to fit a light then gets a tradesman to finish it - I have rescued this Sobell (valiant trumpet blasts).
I was looking to find out how to apply the signals - e.g. if I connect the genny directly to the aerial for the 475 IF, or go to the grid of the mixer/osc.
I don't know what to do with the output of the signal genny - do make a coil for it to transmit? or do I connect it via the aerial socket?
I shall have a look at the pages you suggest, although most text I have perused seems to avoid these very basic questions, perhaps expecting a Radio engineer to do it second nature.
Thank you,
Dave.
