Hmm, ok.

The weird thing was that the way the power cord was wired up on this radio when I got it was that the power cord was wired up to the two terminals on the power switch that the power transformer's primary winding was wired to, which made the radio stay on all the time and wasn't able to be turned off with the power switch.

There are 3 terminals of which one of those 3 terminals is listed as a "dummy terminal" on the service manual, which that one is the one that is supposed to share one of the power cord connections and one of the power transformer primary connections, and the other two terminals are for the other PT Primary connection and Power Cord connection respectively, but I'm not sure if its wired up correctly or not, as the power switch illustration and wiring diagram doesn't match the physical switch on the actual unit itself.
