OK, so here's where I'm at now: I have a 2nd 48-482. I took the IF transformer out and installed it in the first one. With my signal generator connected and set to 9.1Mhz, If I touch the same trimmer on the replacement I get a tone if the screwdriver is touching it. When I remove the screwdriver, no tone.

By the way both have continuity.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Eric
