Just to revisit the frequency changer/mixer question, I think the valve with red conductive paint could be an ECH35. This is a european beastie, I have seen it used in place of a 6J8G before & it's pin-compatible too. According to r-type.org it's equivalent to the 6K8. Hope this helps, John. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ 6A8G.

Guys, I have managed to string the dial pulleys and have that working after a fashion, but I would like a copy of diagram if possible to double check my work. Someone in the past has certainly "got at" the wave change switch and not sure at this stage if part of the switch is missing. No doubt I can figure out the connections (assuming switch is intact) from the circuit diagram and restore it. But as a double check has anyone got this model which they could take a couple of digital pixs of this area and post/send to me so I can compare with what I see in my set?? Can anyone come through for me on this?? Rob ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Rob

John, Thanks for your comments re possible ECH35. I will keep that in mind as I move further into this restoration. Cheers ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Rob

John, Further to your comments I looked more closely at the freq changer/mixer valve - my red peeling paint one, and found on close inspection that it has a marking on the valve base, not where I expected to see it on the red paint on the valve envelope. It is a Philips EK32!!! On the AORSM listing on HWS website I see no evidence that this valve was ever used in Peter Pan sets. So this looks like a substitute. Graham, Brad - Those of you more knowledgeable than I on valve subs - can EK32 be used in place of 6J8G? At this stage I have not had the time to sit down with the circuit Graham supplied to see what changes in resistors, caps etc may have been made around the mixer valve - let alone the use of EL3N valve. This set is looking more and more like someone has really had a GO at it. It is a wonder that it is working at all. Your comments will be most welcome gentlemen!!

Guys, Anyone able to shed any more light on this one. Still stuck on this one as I would like to get back to original circuit set up if possible. Anyone out there with a set like this we can compare notes on? Cheers Rob ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Rob
