Thank you for the very kind comments Howard. Regarding the wholesale change of capacitors and resistors. Its not something I would normally consider doing to any set unless absolutely necessary, and especially not to a round Ekco! But faced with the condition the chassis was in, all but one of the wax capacitors and quite a few of the original resistors already gone. I decided I would restore it to be as reliable as possible rather than try and keep what originality was left. Plus something definitely needed doing about that black paint everywhere! So in the end the decision on how to proceed was largely already made for me.
