Thanks Steve and Kat for the advice. I am indeed more used to working on valve sets, I'm very familiar with seeing wax condensers and working with HT voltages, I haven't really worked on solid state equipment since leaving college in the late 1980's!

I have measured the heater voltage to the CRT between pin 3 and chassis, and it reads 10.8 volts, so this would seem to indicate that all is well with this set. It certainly performs extremely well on both 405 and 625, suggesting that everything is in good shape.

Thanks again for the advice, if there's anything that you think I have overlooked, or should service as normal procedure for a solid state set of this vintage I would be grateful to know.

All the best,

Peter.
