37-350 Hot chassis
#1

Aside from my getting good voltage checks but no reception, Ive now discovered that the chassis to ground on the set reads 73VAC. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I may be getting it. I checked power xfmer to ground on the meg scale VTVM and found no obvious short to the frame. I checked to see if any wires were rubbing against or near chassis but again found nothing. 73 VAC is a big leak, I caught it the easy way, when I went to remove the gnd after hooking up ant to look for reception I noticed a spark as I removed the ground. On prior attempts with ant I apparently turned radio off before removing ground and never caught it. Well, easier than getting across it to find it! Pat
