Many thanks for your comments. It is a very undervalued set that doesn't go for that much. It isn't going to upset the neighbours easily but it does give a very good quality of sound at a decent volume. The UL84 output valve is a full size pentode in its own bottle (power dissipation 12W) compared with say a UCL82 (power dissipation 7W) which it needs to share the pentode with a triode and therefore is smaller.

I find these VHF sets quite appealing as LW/MW only sets I find there is very little of interest to listen to on AM and R4 isn't really a sit down to listen for a long period station and R5 is an instant turn off. R3 and classic FM are good stations to listen to bar the adverts on Classic FM.
