Well.... Test point 12 is confusing. The capacitor shown is not there. Apparently it was optional. One radio is pulling enough amps to melt the wire from the pot to R15, the first resistor. The second is only pulling 9 volts. So confusing. I'm going to try to trace some circuits out. Could the pots be the problem? Thanks.
