I'm in Millhouses and the Absolute/Radio Sheffield transmitter is on Broadfield Road. They are the only stations I can get on cyrstal sets and I've even know them come unbidden through amplifiers, though Radio Moscow used to be the worst offender for that. Magic AM is very weak here, in fact I use it to test just how well radios are performing as if I can get that there's not much wrong.
Any road, the figures I previously gave are correct but mis-identified, ie the Collector and Emitter are inverted.
I've just double checked that the transistor is correctly fitted, ie the leg next to the red dot goes to pin 6 of the L6/7/8 can, the middle one goes to the junction of a 100kΩ and a 22kΩ resistor and the other to pin 1 of L6/7/8.#
I have also warned this radio that if it doesn't behave it's going on e-Bay at the w/end - in bits.
