GEC group?

EDIT: Basically a similar PCB to this:

Double-sided print of that period suggests GEC/Sobell group.

Thanks guys
I bought the board this morning for 10p at a boot sale, now I can label the IF cans with the model and frequency.
I have managed to get a working OC81, a OC45 and an OA70 from off the board.
One of the IF cans must have been difficult to peak, when its cover came off there was the remains of a shattered ferrite slug at the bottom and a good slug at the top. It must have been like that from new as there is no hole in the PCB to access a bottom slug.

Thanks again

Mike

That sounds like it's been 'got at' by the phantom twiddler. Possibly only one core originally: the phantom broke it while twiddling (screwed it down too far so that it jammed on the pcb - and then the core broke). So then decided to insert another core on top (in the vain hope of a 'fix'). So the radio now not working properly (if at all). Gives up - strips the radio for bits to sell at a car boot.
