<I found one of your posts from 2011 about the same issue. I just checked the antenna coil. From the antenna terminal to the ground terminal the coil is showing open. Radio un-plugged and volume control all the way up.
When I say open, that is using my DMM on lowest range, actually switching ranges it measures 39k ohms.
Yes, the osc coil does have a ground pin on the mounting bracket. I was not counting that as a pin as there is nothing connected to it. So re-checking the osc coil, (standing at the back of the radio, up-side down, pin numbers clockwise, not counting the mounting lug) #1 to chassis ground, 3 ohms. #2 to chassis ground 6k ohms (OL lowest scale). #3 to chassis ground 2.5 ohms.
I do have a signal generator I bought a long time ago around 1997 but have never used it. It is a Precision E-200-C. I bought this at a flea market from a radio collector. He said at the time it was working, but I have yet to use it. It does power up. I did get a new test lead for it. I haven't needed it until now, so the process of re-capping that has been on hold. It most likely works just fine, but never used one. Willing to learn though!
