Welcome from someone who is only a little bit less new than you There are some very helpful & knowledgeable people on here, so don't be afraid to ask questions
Composite mod with a 100uf cap in the circuit I've just had a tip on WOS to replace TR1 & 2, and install some 1uf caps in C5-8 to reduce the effects of the crawl, and will see whether it dwindles sufficiently when that's done
