Hello 7etatdef

Thanks for the reply...I measure 11.1 ohms resistance from chassis ground and the ANT post, so I'm assuming no open. Is this ok or too high? If it is an antenna coil issue, I'm not sure if I want to attempt to pull it out and check or rewind it. This especially if you think the problem is worse than that.

If as you say, if the set doesn't care where you connect the antenna, can I keep it on the RF grid? (BTW...The set is one with one #47 tube)

Thank you again for your reply!

Joe
