Hello Tony,

Yes I did check resistors and none were found to be out of spec. I left out some detail from the above, for instance all the black felt pieces around the dial were replaced including the two little discs under the front ends, the dial was scratched so was polished with Brasso, the chassis was cleaned with white spirit, the grille cloth was just brushed clean (don't get this type of cloth damp), all rust on the spring pieces in the knobs, on the spindles and on the rear cover screws was cleaned off, even the tiny brass pins which secure the badge were polished and varnished etc etc.
