Sobell 439. Original under chassis appearance? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi does anyone have under chassis detailed photographs of BEFORE restoration of the Sobell 439 please.
I have just bought a super example but all the resistors and capacitors have been changed for modern components....yuck! As a 'nerdy purist' I restore all my sets by hiding modern components inside the original casings, or use my library of scanned condenser artwork to reproduce contemporary components. However to do this I need to see what the original set looked like.
Can anyone help please.
Thanks in anticipation.....
Dave
