I found the problem - the interlock blade on the underneath side of the 
RF deck shorted because the interlock rod seems a little short (no pun 
intended).  I had the case on the unit but the rear left side wasn't all 
the way down (about 1/8" from the screw holes).  Because this thing is 
so old and the copper interlock blade was so grimy after 40 years it 
took a little bit to get through the tarnish - but once it did it blew a 
chunk out of the copper - and also took out a filter cap or diodes or 
bleeders...  arg...

Got to find some filter caps, diodes and possibly some new bleeders.
