Default Re: Reviving a Rediffusion Mk1 - variable transformer to 'warm it up'?

I have just restored a 1974 Mk1 which had never been used since 1985. The filter capacitor was cut out and mains was applied. All that was needed was a PL509 valve replaced as it was cracked, to get the set running. It needed one or two minor repairs to get it up to spec. Remove the back cover and you will find the filter cap mounted on the back of the on/off switch. Cut off one leg, it may be cut off already. Malc.
