Hi so just finished replacing all capacitors and resistors on what appears to be an untouched survivor radio and it works great on broadcast but is dead on police/shortwave which I'm assuming will be solved with some deoxit on the switch contacts. But on the shortwave switch panel there is a strange short white-red striped wire which doesn't appear to connect to anything.. I've followed the schematic and everything appears to be correct but I could have missed something.. Any ideas? Pic: [Image: http://i60.tinypic.com/2zew700.jpg]
