I have no background in electronics and this is my first attempt at restoring a valve radio.

I have a Bush VHF61 that I have recapped (both wax and Hunts capacitors) and I am able to tune stations on both MW and VHF (long wave is quite poor, but that might be due to the lack of a decent aerial at the moment).

The magic eye closes fine on medium wave but not so on VHF, it flatly refuses to change on the ten stations that I can pick up here.

Can I have some pointers please as to what I should be looking for?

Phil.
