The Pye v14 was actually quite a reliable set spoilt only by the rather highly strung flywheel sync circuit.

It was more the problem of the rather poor tolerance capacitors used in 1956.

It would be a doddle to repair these days........Honest. Plenty of help available but it's a pity you had not been presented with a RGD 'Deep Seventeen'. Now that was a novice set. It never went wrong!
Regards John.
