just in case anyone else is fiddling, you might be interested to know that the cam actuator seems to me to be far more important that the toggles. As soon as I replaced it with a less worn one, all started moving again. But the "worn" (sic) weights potentially have movement at the spring connection AND their position on the baseplate.
I've just spend two days getting a dead DK4 working again and THE most important bit of information was earthing of the points through a hidden connection within the baseplate to the lefthand baseplate connection to the distributor. I found the info in the small print on one of the Cornwall club site (thanks!).
I had used a non-metal washer to enable the points to be set easily, and of course it completely removed any earth....
I now know. This may help others!
