I took the can off and right away the ohms went up to the meg range. I tried it and had reception right away but after 30 seconds it went out with a zap noise out the speaker. No smoke just a noise like zzz. It still actually has sound but with the volume up all the way I can still hear stations. Then I unplugged and checked that can again. Seems the wiring is fluctuating a lot dropping all the way down to 25,000 ohms . I will remove all the wires and get a good look under the terminal lug in the chassis that its connected to there are other things attached there too and its a mess but thanks for the help so far
