Man, I still haven't figured this thing out. The long wire antenna is somehow grounded. It has continuity with the chassis. This is absolutely indicative of a problem, right?

The long wire antenna attaches to the underside of the band switch. There are terminals on the switch that are purposely grounded. Really hard to disassemble or get an eyeball in there to trace the circuit. It seems futile because I'm looking at things that I didn't touch, and the radio received fine before my re-capping. I've poked and prodded connections, checked coils, retraced the schematic, sketches and photos and I'm finding nothing.

Any insight into that grounded antenna wire?

Thanks everyone,
Alan
