Had one of these from a skip years ago - rubber wiring, original caps and drastically 'improved' by someone ripping out the DF stuff and putting all sorts of junk in its place, with new holes drilled in the f/panel. No option but a complete chassis strip, hole filling & respray. At least the original coils & valves were all OK. After a rewire and adding a 6V6 + small LS where the DF stuff once was, it is now used for bedtime listening. Sentimental attachment, as my dad who was a W/Op in a Lancaster would have used one in anger.
