[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 69312, member: 807"] Well the valve filaments are all conductive, but the radio as a whole is dead - I suspect the mains cable resistor - they have a reputation for going open. All is peachy though - I found a 220:110 transformer in my 'box' that I forgot I had! Looks like its just about 30VA - ideal size. The Philips tape recorder I will photograph soon. It has one very long drive belt that goes in an extremely convoluted path around the motor, flywheel, and both reel hubs. It has a tensioner idler in its path, so even if it has streched somewhat, it makes no difference! Neat design feature. It doesn't show signs of perishing or going sticky. [/QUOTE]
