Just remembered I might have discovered the cause of the initial fuse blowing.

I attempted to repair the deliberate break in the supply to the system switch yesterday, only for the tag to break off very easily at the microswitch through corrosion. I guess it must've arced.

The set was in the 625-line position with the set tuned to a VHF channel.

Later I'll be fitting the 2M2 pot kindly supplied by Malc (many thanks!) and will remove the VHF tuner for examination.
