Default R109 radio receiver

I am repeating this appeal as I get used to the structure of this forum (I am a new subscriber!).

As a retired radio amateur (G8WMQ) I recently bought a R109 receiver in apparently complete - but not working - order.

i have replaced two valves and sorted out the 6V vibrator and although there is now HT, there is no audio - not even a crackle!

Are there any maintenance manuals available, specifically what are the test voltages at the test points, and what do incorrect voltages indicate?

An email copy of any relevant pages would be very welcome.

Ian H

There is some documentation on the VMARS website.

Document 3731 has some troubleshooting info including schematics.
