I think the twin-fi is a model 11-50.

Kevin Chant has it here:

Kevin,
thank you very much for the information.
Have got some new valves and bulbs coming and the circuit diagrams will help me to track any new issues.
Am on a bit of a steep learning curve with radio and it will be good to see my first project underway.

Are you accustomed to working with high voltage circuitry?

If this is the model I think it is check the wiring inside the pan, feeding the dial lights. I have had one of those that had shorted by cutting into the wire.

Naturally, the wax paper caps & Electrolytics should be tossed, if it is assessed as being a viable repair.

Unless you know that it ia a goer. Do not bother to turn it on. The Transformer can be checked with the rectifier 6X4? removed. After you check the mains wiring.
