 AC/DC Superhet.

 The same circiut as a Cossor CR1201U

 Working.

This set needed the usual capacitor replacement treatment and a new output valve to get it going. It hummed a lot but cleaning up the PCB got rid of most of that. It does have an annoying intermittent quiet rustling noise like a leaky cap.

The cabinet is original. The black plastic just needed a polish. There are a few marks where fingernails have scraped off the paint by the volume control.

See Paul Stennings website (links) for everything you want to know about restoring one of these.
