Jerry,
In your other thread on this radio (maybe Ron could put the two together) you stated the radio was working before it was recaped. So here are a couple of things I am thinking about. If the volume control reads less than one ohm (I think you said .450 ohm), the radio would never have worked. The other thing is, I don't think the pot could ever change in value that dramatically. You might want to retest it. The pot has three terminals located together and the tap terminal is located at some other point. You want to take your measurement from the two outer terminals of the group of three. Let us know what you find.
