116 chassis, loss of reception
#11

Ok, made progress finally. I got a chance to sit down with it this week. Ed(etech) helped out tremendously, so hats off to him. We found the primary of the Ant coil can was shorted, or something to that effect. I could tap on the can hard, and reception returned. I disassembled the can, and couldn't find a thing wrong with the primary winding Icon_confused But, the lugs underneath the trimmer can, were sticking out, and not bent down. I wonder if maybe they were shorting out to the side of the can?? Anyhow, I carefully inspected it, cleaned the trimmers, bent the lugs down. It's been playing for maybe 4 hours fine.........On I go.

Thanks for the assistance, and especially Ed Icon_mrgreen
