Some more info for the curious.
The TV uses the 79-17 chassis. This should be a fairly quick set to recap as the majority of the capacitors are Philips "mustard" polyesters which have a good reputation for reliability. A quick look at the chassis underside revealed a total of five wax capacitors mostly around the horizontal sweep power section. There are a number of suspect electrolytics but the main filter cans look good externally. I'll have a try at reforming them.
The radiogram uses the 11-97 chassis which has a valve tuning indicator and a pair of 6GW8 triode pentodes as output valves. The turntable is a Garrard AT6. Some quick research reveals that this was a respectable turntable in its day.
Alan, I like your set but it does take up some room! I'm glad mine is in two parts, it's much easier to handle. What radiogram chassis does yours use?
The Astor Devon you asked after actually belongs to another Victorian AK'er Dr.Ido.
As requested, here are some pictures of the radiogram section. The top view picture also has the TV remote and microphone for the radiogram in it. I'm very happy that these are still with the set.
The last picture is of the radiogram chassis. A very good design idea this. The top half hinges up after undoing two screws for excellent service access.
