Many thanks one and all.

All of this is great stuff - I am much obliged.

Interestingly, the aerial in my FB10 is not on a ferrite rod. It's just a large coil of wire (well two coils actually) wound round the back and supported on what looks like card. It looks like it’s built to cook over the heat from the valves! So, even more variations are coming to light. Regrettably there is no serial number on mine as the paper label is missing.

Interesting stuff eh.

Well, armed with all that useful gen I'm now off to see what I can do.

Best regards all – great help!

Andy
