Would have been nicer to have retained the original speaker, for the original sound as well as appearance. The original speaker doesn't look to be damaged at all.

Found it thanks - as you said, under VALVEHOLDERS - Screen for V2.

I suppose my concerns about heat build up are misplaced if this part was fitted in the original - it must have been at some point and has just fallen out/got displaced.

Only got the small metal plate with a screw to find a home for now?

By the way, the hum has disappeared - caused by having the set too close to our cordless phone base station!

Most B9A valves in TV tuners had valve screens/shields fitted.

Found it by looking through the pictures I took near the start of this project.

It's the small metal plate and screw that supported C65 (a large 100μF electrolytic capacitor) and C59 (a Philips black pitch type 0.015μF capacitor) and attached to the chassis using a "waxy paper harness). As you can see from the attached picture there was leakage around the bottom of this "harness" and these caps were replaced along with all the other leaky black pitch types.

So the small metal plate with a screw are now redundant as the new caps are so much smaller and self-supporting - but I think I'll just put them back in place for completeness.
