I've got a Cossor 500, very similar AFAIK (B8G Loctal valves in mine).
Basic circuit, simple AVC (strange, as it would have needed only a couple of extra components to have delayed). Pick-up inpt which just forces its way through the circuit - no switch position to switch 'in' and mute the radio.
Good sound quality.
Crummy sensitivity, especially on SW - it really does need an aerial. Aerial / oscillator tracking is not good.
But an easy chassis to work on, a good cabinet, and a good-sized loudspeaker.
