This is being assessed for repair: Speaker K8; transformer, field & VC seem to be ok Cone is finished:
Replace / Recone.

The Oscillator & Aerial coils have been seriously damaged by a Rat or Mouse. Replacement seems to be the best option, if someone out there has any? Please advise.

The converter is a Philips "Octode" AK2 ("P" Base)

1st RF AF3 ( has no heaters) also needed.

Thanks for that I will check it out.

I have not done much on Radio in the last few days.... Floods and a run on Vehicle maintenence.

The radio has been modified badly and I may have to make a few of my own mods. to get it right.

The output has been changed to 6F6 from AL2 and an auto transformer added. Shame that the grid bias is nearly 10V different.
