While waiting for parts for my 87 I finished up my 77. All excited I fired it up. No volume until I touched the volume control shaft, top of the 1st rf tube (24), or the coil #5. Checked coil resistance 6.2 ohms from cap of 24 to gnd. matches other coils, volume control pod, ground connections, and voltages, all look ok. Ran a jumper from 24 cap connection on coil to ant. got a little better, but not as good as if you touch it. Some stations you can hear faintly, but others not until you touch. Tried swapping tubes, no difference. Probably something simple staring me in the face. Frustration got the best of me at this point. Any and all ideas welcomed. Thanks ahead of time, Richard
