Hello again gentlefolk,
Thanks all for your replies.
I went and looked at the circuit again, comparing with the schematic. There was some little niggle, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I made a rough sketch of the vero board with component locations, but much enlarged. Then the mysterious niggle became glaring. I had left the negative end of C3 just going nowhere useful, and the -HT terminal connected directly to one end of the transformer secondary.
A wire link and a copper strip cut later, and the picture says it all.
Thanks again, I'm muchly obliged for the prompting.
Now, to install it in the radio case....
