Continental 2 core mains cable and 2 pin plug replaced by 3 core and 3 pin. Mains voltage selection changed from 220 to 240. Replaced blown 315mA fuse.

Powered up OK (so fuse OK) and motor runs. +21.5 volt DC supply good. Because had to disconnect from internal speakers to get it out of its box, presently the two fuses for the output of the two power amps are removed, will refit these later when reconnected to the speakers.

Next to install 3 new belts, am hoping that the fitted flywheel belt may be OK (a bigger job to replace that belt) and hopefully get the tape transport all working. Will do some general cleaning as I go.
