check for good-clean solder connections at the I.F. cans wiring connections under chassis.A cold-solder connection there could also be suspect altho rare cases have been found. If you have a spare known-good antenna coil, try "jump-wiring" it into the circuit also. I agree with exray. You may also try jumpering the BCB terminals on the bandswitch.Make sure your antenna connections are correct and your test antenna is long enough. My wife says my antenna isnt long enough, so I dont know just how long test antennas are supposed to be anyways!(hee hee) Just tryin to help.
