Re: Bush VHF61 restoration
It's good to see a young person taking an interest, I hope you will stick with it and have success. I'm sure someone with far more experience than me will answer you here soon, but from what I have learnt so far as a relative newcomer to valve sets, this is my advice -
Make yourself a lamp limiter, very worthwhile for initial power ups - there is information in the forums on this.
The 2 pin plug must be replaced with a standard 3 pin mains plug. I believe this set has a transformer and if so, so you should be able to earth the chassis for added safety. But do seek advice on this because some sets have a "live" chassis and you need to understand this when working on valve sets.
A good place to start may be doing a visual check for obvious problems consulting the forum here, then bring up power on the lamp limiter and if all is well see if the valve heaters are glowing.
Good luck - Paul
