Hi folks,

still progressing slowly...

Thanks for the info Jac. It would make sense because looking at the coil former it had a grainy look, like wood, but then also a mould split line.

I've now rubbed down the chassis with an oily scouring pad as per Leon's suggestion and it looks much better.
I've replaced rubber grommets and fitted the octal valve sockets (proper EMI ones) in the timebase section. I've used M3 screws for the moment, but will be replacing them with domed 4BA screws.

I've also fitted a missing insulated tag next to the video amplifier valve and have replaced the bolt through HT caps (thanks to askjan).

Loads more parts waiting to arrive.
Thanks to everyone that is helping out with parts and info.

That's all for now.

Cheers
Andy Beer
