Okay! So I've got a few parts marked as suspect. There's some out of tolerance resistors, some caps that are damaged, and one in particular that has no reading at all across it! So I'm about ready to place an order.

A question, though. There's a component across the tuning capacitor. The original was a small white cylinder, and the SAMS lists that as a capacitor. However, I have a parts chassis I'm pulling a new headphone jack from, and I noticed that that component looks like a resistor there!

My set has a few other differences from the SAMS, namely the presence of a small network in place of a few discrete components on the SAMS, and some paper caps going to a few of the antenna jacks that aren't on the SAMS. The parts chassis I have also has that network, but it has a few other differences.

I'm including some pictures of both sets, and I'm going to see if I can dig the white cylinder I pulled out of my trash bin. It's somewhere in there, I know.

I don't think that's the source of my dead audio, because my audio faded out and the set started smoking before I replaced that part. I did notice a bulge on the side of it when I replaced it, though, and my multimeter is just kind of hanging there (not giving OL, but not displaying any measurement at all) when I try to measure my replacement.

Any thoughts here? I can also scan the schematic that came with mine if that would be helpful. I'm not entirely sure how to read that part of it.
