If somebody has re-wired the socket with the 6K8GT in they've done a miraculously good job, especially if they were only a 'fiddler':-
I'll print the valve data in a bit and see if I can trace just what is going on.
The only sign of previous work is the screws which hold the deck in the cabinet and the ones which hold the motor to the deck being a bit chewed. The turntable is noisy which seems to be caused by the rubber tyre on the idler being rock-hard; it's also got a dip where it's been pressing on the motor spindle. Putting a rubber band 'round it quietens it, at least until it flies off. I'm not worrying myself over-much about that as I can't see myself using it.
I've re-wired the dial lamp and needed to take the EBL31 out. This rattled and there's a lump of metal loose within which looks roughly the size and shape of the +ve connector on a PP9 with a bit of wire on. It still works though.
Cheers
Joe
