I only have the correct connection made with a temporary jumper wire right now, so I haven't had a chance to properly evaluate the sound. But the minute or so it took to confirm the fix was promising.
Thanks again to you and morzh.
I have one remaining issue before I reinstall this in the cabinet, which is that the dial pointer doesn't move as smoothly (feel-wise) across the dial as I'd expect it to. I tried applying a thin film of SuperLube grease across the top horizontal portion of the dial that the pointer rides on, but it didn't make much of a difference. I was going to apply a tiny drop of oil to the center of the small dial string pulleys where they rotate around the shafts, however, it appears that the pulleys may be made of a phenolic rather than steel, and I'm concerned about adding oil there. Perhaps I'll start a new thread.
