 Working.

Pye's first post war set. Apart from cleaning, this set needed no electrical work. After initial checks, I plugged it in and waited for the set to heat up, tuned in and that was it. The sound is very good. Very sensitive on SW

The same can't be said for the cabinet which is in a very poor state. I have cleaned it up as much as possible, but really it needs re veneering. Then you lose the PYE badge on top (unless anyone has some!) The speaker cloth has been replaced. Nothing like the original but it looks "right".
