Great receivers the 30 series DECCA. The LOPT is the only weak area together with the usual shorted boost cap, lack of height due to the resistor feeding the height control going high and exploding mains filter caps. I'm not sure what you can do with the LOPT. It is encapsulated with resin/hardener and may be difficult to rewind but there is probably a few NOS ones floating about. Good luck with it, John.
