I've never played guess the socket, but I've bought old valve radios, I've
had them blow up on me, and I've even managed the odd repair or two. If you
know how to solder and can test components, you should get there.

Yeah, hope so! Ordered valves from Colomor today.

Great news (for me, anyway):

I got the new valves on Friday, and I've just plugged them in now,
and now the radio works!
