Take a closer look at your schematics again. If necessary, use jumper wires with alligator clips on each end and take your pushbutton assembly totally out of the circuit by direct wiring under the chassis for all your checks. By isolating your PB assembly will get you back to what is working correctly and not. Always remember, your schematic never lies to you! You just have to know how to read it and "isolate" problems all the way thru the circuits in both RF & AF stages using your test equipment. Do you have test equipment?, and know how to use it? If not, your guessing is doing nothing more than confusing us here trying to help you. No dissing your abilities to trace down problems intended from me at all. Completely Isolate those pushbuttons and get back with what is working and not in your set. What type of bench test equip are you using? Knowing that will help all the techs here help you isolate your problems. Never give up! It is a learning process and once you defeat it, it will be rewarded on your next restorations!
