I have ordered a full set of caps for the set, in the meantime I will whip out the radio chassis and make a start on it.
The CRT can also be removed, as there is loads of dust and muck on it's face!
And it reduces the chance of any accidents when removing the radio chassis.

I am hoping the output transformer is not open, although the total lack of sound does point to it.
I reckon the radio was still in use long after the TV was no longer used, THAT cap has probably taken it's toll!
