Whoops. Yes, part #13, not #1. The coil still has continuity--4.6 ohms (schematic calls for 3.5).
And yes, I'm taking a bit of time off of this project, like about the length of time it takes for my fingerprints to grow back. Or at least the tip of my finger to heal. 
If you're familiar with this chassis (and from what I recall, it got around) then you know I'm also at the "tight" end of the chassis where some serious dexterity is required. That being said, I'm still having fun with it and although annoyed, I'm not yet discouraged. I have too many other radios backed up in the stack behind this one to quit now!
