That would be one of their All-wave antennas that are like a multi-band dipole. Simply an option that they sold. Not really at issue here.
I really got my story bungled on the above post. I pulled out my 37-60 a while ago. Thats the one in which I used a ferrite toroid to replace a missing OSC coil. The 60 and 61 are quite similar, however, at least for BCB. I poked around looking to see what additional clues I could come up with and I've run out of ideas. I cannot help but think that the coil somehow is the culprit here.
Backtracking on an earlier path...you mentioned having to take the AVC loose when doing the coil-to-ground test. I was reviewing that and see that you would have measured about 2 Megs to ground. Is that pretty much the ballpark range of what you saw with the AVC connected? Something else I wish I had thought to check while I had my chassis out of the cabinet and thats the method of grounding the subchassis to the main chassis. What I'm getting at here is making sure that cap #4 finds a good rf ground.
How well does the shortwave work? Do you notice any dropoff on the low end of that band?
