Thanks, will go over it, see if I can understand anything out of it!

Redid dial cords now, the main one was super easy, the S.W. one was a bit fiddly, having a lot of spare cord, definitely helps. Indexing works well now with the new cord.
Cleaned up both dials, can just about see the red lettering on the main dial for LW.
Replaced 3 bulbs for the main dial too, I think I'm at the end of what I can do with it, just need to fit new power cable and need to have a think about aerial for it and see how it works with something better than a few meters of copper cable.
Currently at home I get BBC on LW, maybe couple stations on MW(barely) and a few on SW, this is improved when set it is in the garage but still feels like the whole thing is missing aerial.
