I'm following up what Malc and Brian just written.
You have one of the most rare and interesting dual-standard sets. To carve it up and fit another chassis into the cabinet would be a regretable mistake.
This DR101, the Bush TV125 and the KB VC series were the only hand wired sets made in the sixties. The rest were just PCB rubbish in comparison.
OK, it's doubtful if the correct replacement Decca line output transformer will ever turn up so the answer is the Jellypot conversion like my Decca DR123.
