Got side tracked on other work yesterday, now back to the EF86. After removing the microphone transformer was then able to fully check out all the connections to the valve base.

Have found 1 problem, pin 5 the Screen Grid (G2) has zero volts on it, valve base info on schematic indicates it should be around 30 volts.

Found that 1.25 Mohm resistor R9 that connects the HT supply to pin 5 (dropping the HT volts down of course) is open circuit.

Seems strange to be completely open circuit, looks in good condition, in the attached photo R9 is near top right (one end lifted in photo).

Do not have a suitable replacement, so will borrow a similar one from one of my other Grundigs. Difficult to buy a 1.25 Megohm so I have ordered a 1 Megohm and will connect a 220k (which I have plenty of) in series with it.

Not confident though that replacing the resistor will fix the high anode voltage.
