Hi, guys
Managed to grab a few minutes last night to check continuity on all the coils on the 38-3, and there are no broken wires.
Out of curiousity, I touched one probe to the chassis and the other probe to the antenna terminal marked RED. That's where I have my longwire antenna attached. The other two terminals on that piece of fibre board are marked BLACK and GND, and are jumpered together and grounded to chassis. I recorded continuity between the RED terminal and the chassis. Should that happen? Thanks!
