Rich's advice was very sound, as usual.
Energize your T-R switch with all other voltages killed to
the amp. Make sure you have continuity from the tank
side of the blocking cap to the RF output jack on every
band switch position. If successful, then short out the blocking
cap and check for continuity from the tube anodes to the RF
output jack on every band.
