Re: Bush VHF81 restoration
Nice! I have a bit of a soft-spot for these: a relative had one as her kitchen-radio back in the sixties (always tuned to Radio 2, alas...)
I must get round to working on my VHF81 again over the winter; it had the same 'scale lamps corroded irretrievably into the holders' issue as yours - I was able to get some small white plastic MES holders [4 for £1] from the Frome radio rally and they fitted perfectly. Replaced the Mouldseals and it now works fine on FM (though lacking HF response - might be the capacitor you mentioned!) but it also has *something* shorting the HT when on MW or LW, which needs detailed investigation.
