@doridavi 

Radiomuseum have some circuits for Baird transistor radios made around the same time as the 262. A look at those may find a similar chassis, it appears the 262 is a standard 6 transistor OC44,OC45, OC45, OC81D, 2x OC81 in push pull output, probably transformer coupled. There is only a photo of the set and some technical information for this set but others may suit.

@doridavi 

Must clean my glasses, have you photos and valve line up, may be able to find something similar enough to be useful.

Its the Radio Rentals set made by Baird. 

 

Service sheets are available from other radio forum sites. PM me for further.

Have you raised this on the Golborne forum site too?
