wd40addict - Thanks I'll give that a try. I'm not sure what the set is tuned to. The tuning knob at the rear is missing and has been broken off at some stage, although the stump is still there and the core seems to screw in and out. The gauge alongside is numbered 1-5.

Argus25 - I'm fairly sure the compression of the raster is due to my camera. It was mounted on a tripod and I only lit up the screen long enough to take the photo. The exposure was about 1/60 I think. I took a few others and I think they showed the bottom as ok. I'll check through them and make sure.

Regarding the EHT: does the presence of a raster confirm that it is present? So far I can't get a spark from the CRT or PL38 after switch off. I also cant be sure the EY51 is lit as it's fossilised under pitch. I do see a faint glow, but it could be a reflection of the PL38 heater.
