Sorry the 2R pic got misplaced at the end of the previous post instead of where it should've been... below the 1R pic.
Regarding the antenna, when I connect my meter on continuity on the center connection of the first coil (section 1R), and stick the other meter lead in the antenna port, I hear a beep at each of the 3 positions of the switch as I turn it. So I believe the switch is connected right.
However when the set is powered up, all I'm getting is static, despite having my long antenna wire hooked up (I was able to get Chicago... 120 miles away... with this antenna wire on my AK model 40). When I touch the antenna port, I get no response or change in sound. So the antenna connection is working to the switch on the front panel, but apparently not going through to the coils & tuning capacitors. Yet the coils all check out for continuity on their primary and secondary windings.
