Model 20 weird volume issue
#2

This is quite normal.
The volume pot is isolated from the chassis, and the shaft gets close (not sure if it is connected) to the resistive element which connects to antenna.
This will almost disappear once you put the knob on that shaft.
And also, when you hook up a good antenna to the set, your touch will not have the effect this strong.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
