I recently restored an Invicta 29 (A Pye Chassis same as Invicta 28, PAM 712, PAM716 and Pye Jewel Case with PCB version).
The question I asked people was where should the sceen can be?
I have seen both photographs
Screen on DAF96 (possibly wrong)
(RMorg Pye Jewel Case 1955)
and also
Screen on DL96 (probably right)
(Invicta29, also Pye)
Notice the 1955 and 1957 chassis are identical. Also I have seen in various photographs of the similar chassis the screen on DL96 or DAF96.
Well the DAF96 is sensitive and renowned for "Microphony", so I thought also since the RMorg photo showed it, that the DAF96 was correct location.
But I noticed that for a about 1/3rd of the mid range of the volume the Radio would often "squeal", always when "cold" and less so after an hour or two.
So I swapped screen shield (which has a soldered earth wire) to the DL96 output pentode and from cold the problem of "feedback squeal" at certain volume levels is cured.
