New user with a Ferguson 624RG - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello, and thanks for accepting me onto the forums.

I've just acquired an absolutely beautiful Ferguson 624RG which makes me feel all giddy with its retro beauty. It feels obvious that it doesn't work and has actually had its power cable severed so I can't attach a plug and see if it works.

My question, I suppose, is... what's next? I understand this is a fairly dangerous radiogram to work with as part of the chassis becomes live, so it obviously needs expert attention, but does anyone know any radiogram experts in the East Midlands, ideally Nottingham, who might consider doing home visits? I'm an absolute novice at this, so I'd appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer on the subject.
