Thank you both for your ideas on what to try next. I have already replaced valve 30FL2.
I have tried replacing Pl 504 and PY800. PY800 made just a very minor improvement hardly noticeable. I will check the resistors and caps mentioned. In one of John Laws articles he mentioned a possible faulty VDR but not a common fault.
I will do the checks when I have time. Thanks again Andy
