I just finished recapping a model 80 and I'm just getting a light static from the radio when I attach a 20 foot antenea to it. I've checked the tubes, the speaker, all the resistors and volume control and everythings good. So is there common problems with this model I should look for? I have a schematic but my radio doesn't follow it exactly. I an electrical novice so I could use some direction. I'd like to start checking the coils in the IF cans. Do I need to unsodder the leads to the cans to check them?
