Default Kolster Brandes RV 10 (Crown)

Hi All,

I have treated myself to the world of 405 line TV by picking up a Kolster Brandes RV 10 (Crown) at a car boot sale Being 45 years old I apparently last watched a 405 line TV on a rented Rediffusion set in the early 1970s. I'm also new to this forum so go easy on me . An image of my find is attached here.

Initial checks show a complete set. The EHT cage shows signs of being opened in the past and the CRT looks to be the original C17SM. One valve (PCC89) has gone gassy and a host of melty looking 'waxies' greet me. The tube appears to be stuck to the bezel on one side when attempting to pull the chassis.

I ask if I could be directed to a service sheet/schematic to purchase for this telly please - and if anyone can tell me their experiences of repairing these sets. They are generally good from what I have seen so far on the interweb.
