Hello,
Just thought I’d complete the story.
I’ve been sidetracked lately but managed to finish the radio tonight. I had some issues with a broken wire on a coil which was a challenge to fix and the dropper which was set to the wrong voltage had a badly corroded connection.
I bought it mostly for its looks but after changing the Hunts and couple of out of spec resisters it works well and the performance is quite good for a 50’s TRF.

And the ‘fix’ for the back does as I intended.
