The printed circuit version is a lot easier to work on than the wired version. It's also a lot easier to replace the components without getting a wiring fault due to a man made error.

The tube looks good from your picture. You will need to replace every paper 'tube' type capacitors throughout the chassis. They give an excellent picture.

You will need to obtain the exact manual/diagram for this chassis. Around this time PYE went mad producing loads of chassis differences with the same model number. Good luck with it. John.
