Thanks, David. I'm pretty sure that dial is the same as the R200, in fact that's what I thought this radio was at first. Apart from gluing the ferrite I haven't done anything to it yet as it's worthy of due care and attention.
I'm really pleased with the Ultra. I had it on for a few hours on Sunday night with Absolute Classic Rock playing through it and by the time I was going to bed had forgotten and wondered why the hi-fi amp was switch off as it sounded so good. I'll have a go at getting VHF going at some stage but at present I'm a bit loathe to risk upsetting the rest - my Ekco was in a similar state and my attempts at sorting it out has made it homicidal. Learn to walk before you try to run and all that.
I'm going to be re-capping a DAC90a today. The only trouble is my soldering iron element's bust so I'll be on the gas one. It should be interesting to see how it goes as on full belt it's supposed to be the equivalent of 60W.
All the best
