Default Re: Oh no - another V4!

Thanks lads,

I've not got a hope in hell of getting this one past the boss to put it over a radiator - not until I've refinished it anyway. Instead I'll set a fan-heater on it in the workshop. After the refurb the workshop is nice and dry...

As to EHT I've not measured it after the set has been running but boost was up to 430V at switch on yesterday, not sure what it fell back to later.

Thanks John for the service sheets!

No here's a poser - I'm still puzzled by the provenance of this set. The tuner looks to be a pukka VT4 factory fitted item. However the blue plate on the LOP can says V4. Now another contradiction - the Flywheel modification note attached by John above is NOT fitted so the chassis must be from before November 1953! But it looks like it never had V1 or the Band I tuner fitted! Weird - could it have been a pre-production set for IBA transmission tests or a Pye test set?
