Hello friends!!
At the upper side of the chassis there is a green cable which is connected, from the one side at the speaker and from the other side at the last join point (starting counting from the front of the chassis) and that is all!
The blue wire is connected at join point #4 with a 2nF capacitor (the dirtiest one at the foto) and from the other side to ...nowhere (just slip under the tuning capacitor). The 2nF capacitor is connected through the #1 join point to the antenna.

Yes, we are Terry, N3GTE and finally, we will fix it!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you again for the help!!!!!

SV2HWH, Konstantinos
