Pete, thanks for the reply. I examined this further and as far as I can determine the wires are not resistive. The single terminal board on the bottom and top of the condensor are isolated from it. It seems that this was done for production line purposes. The leads from the band switch come out of the chassis and immediately are connected to the bottom terminal, then the grid cap wires are attached to the top terminals. I'm guessing that shielded wire would have been to expensive and by having that wire between the terminals (it's straight as an arrow and taut) placed there by the manufacturer of the tuning cap provided the shortest distance between the two points. If anyone else has any ideas please join in. Pat
