I'm an idiot. When I re-capped the RF chassis I left out a .01 cap in the signal path! Icon_redface

I am so embarassed. Anyways, I put the cap in and now have full signal (from the generator) playing through the set. I am pretty sure theres an issue with the volume pots, which now work somewhat, as they are very scratchy and intermittent despite a good blast of cleaner. Still no radio signal though. Only plays with the signal generator hooked directly to the antenna connection.
