(circuit not clear enough for me to see), but there is a socket which may well be for such a decoder. I suspect the EM87 would be an EMM808 (?) if it were supplied with built in stereo decoder. The output valve (ECLL800) is no the most reliable, and replacements will be v. expensive if needed.
Good luck, Les.

The ECLL800 valve is not the most reliable! An understatement of the year!
Those valves were so bad that Grundig and others would include a spare packed with the new set. The design is interesting, but is like 20 LBS of dirt in a 10 LB bag.
I did like the ELL80, double penthode. Some US firms used it for low power applications. Dave, USradcoll1
