I think the component values can be downloaded from radiomuseum but for those that can't be faffed I think the service data for the Philips 353a might have the same/similar values, the 353a doesn't have a magic eye.

Radiomuseum will be annoyed if they discover your link to their schematic, they might ban you.

EDIT: I notice that the link has since been removed.
Thanks for the info, did not realise that I could not link, can I edit to remove it?

ESR is only applicable to electrolytic capacitors. I've never found the need to measure it in valve sets. Faulty smoothing capacitors will show up as hum, over heating or low HT. Faulty cathode bypass caps (C3 for example) will show up as incorrect cathode voltage.

For cap values consult the parts list.
Sorry for posting the document, I did not realize, can I edit it and remove it, if its a problem
