As mentioned previously, the EHT winding on the EHT transformer gave way.

I’m currently having talks about getting my transformer rewound.

Whilst this is happening, I’ll be focusing on making sure the radio performs perfectly.

I’ve noticed that the tuning capacitor pops and fits every now and again whilst tuning in. I believe this is something to do with the variable condenser being dirty. This part will eventually be removed and reconditioned.
