The thrill is gone again, thought I was close to being done with it. Well Friday it was receiving broadcast, Saturday morning the same. My final check before inserting the Chassis I turn the band selector knob to see if any of the other bands worked and nothing so back to regular broadcast. Now can't receive any broadcast at all, only static. I have tried moving the antenna wire around and no change. I've done nothing but turned the band selector. I've checked the selector to see if it may be shorted because I noticed a slight static at times while turning the knob.
Does anyone have any idea of what I can check?
Thanks
