Thanks Chuck. I moved them all, but the voice coil wires were the only ones that looked sketchy. The field coil wires could have been shorting though... I will insulate them all before this chassis is finished.

As of right now, I cannot get it to play. I get low volume static from the speaker and that's it. If I touch the middle lug of the volume control, or either of the grid caps, I get loud static. If I touch one the pins on the 42 or 75 tube (using the dmm), it plays a station, but it is not tunable. I've gone through it as far as my knowledge will take me. All caps are replaced, and out of spec resistors are replaced. Tubes are good, band switch is cleaned up.

Plate voltages are high. but not extremely out of line (at least I don't think).. I can post them if need be.
Once more, I turn to you guys... Any help would be appreciated... I am not good at chassis work, so I'm sure I missed something..
