41-280 RF xfrmer strange leads?
#1
Photo 

Hi,
I just started working on a 41-280.  The pre-set push buttons won't tune any stations so I started trouble shooting.  I came across something I hadn't noticed before and was wondering if this was normal.  There are two red wires attached to a couple of the mounting lugs on the RF transformer.  But they don't go anywhere.  They are just twisted together a few times and tucked up close to the transformer.  Is this normal?  I'm not sure yet what terminal numbers they are connected to.  I'll try to attach pics of where in the schematic and parts location of the circuit and a pic of what I'm seeing on the chassis.
