Hi David, Yes it looks like I was pretty lucky with the Paxolin I got mine from a friend who has a Govmt surplus business so it looks like I'll have to keep on his right side 
I haven't yet fitted any new caps etc to my Major Maestro chassis as I'm trying to make some replicas which are coming on quite well I'll post some piccies when I have something worth showing. You will also note there is a mains transformer on the chassis instead of the usual dropper resistor I think this is the last version made but the tranny only supplies 6.3 volts for the valve heaters and pilot lamps the 240v AC HT is still derived direcly from the mains so there is still a live chassis .................
