At this stage the Healing is missing its horizontal output and audio amp valves (tubes). I believe I have used spares for these so I will be able to make some progress on its repair.

From your picture of the Korting's chassis/ motherboard, I see what looks like components installed into traces that lead to the module that's not there. Parts that would not have been installed by the factory if that module was not going to be used in that set.
Do these modules plug into female receptacle pins, or are they usually soldered onto the motherboard? Looks like connectors, but the picture isn't quite sharp enough to tell (might be header pins that were clipped). RCA in the USA did something like this in the late 70's, they were thinking of these modules being like tubes, that a repair person could swap out. But more often than not, the connection pins become bad.
