Thanks Uncle peter, that's encouraging news. I'm told the three large
capacitors which are sealed in a single case may contain PCB, but it's not a
problem to substitute them. I'm still undecided as to what to do with the
set really. I may look out for a tatty model which works, and swap my
restored front panel, dials, e.t.c onto it. Otherwise, I may completely
strip the guts out, and re-plate the chassis and really go to town on the
restoration. I'm in the right industry for getting plating done as 'a
favour' e.t.c, so it might be the way to go. I'd have to find someone to
re-align it for me when re-built though, as I have no access to a sweep
generator.
Any offers anyone? !!
Cheers for now.

If black and sticky, probably tar (or similar) oozing from
the sealed chokes. PCB, IIRC, is a clear liquid, and I doubt it was
in common useage back in WWII era boatanchors.
