Thanks! Last night turned into one of those times where you start doubting your test equipment. I kept getting full voltage then it would drop to millivolts and it was across the entire chassis. But I would check the next place and the voltage would be right on, come back and it was .07mv, then check again and right on again. I started to think my Fluke meter was reading incorrect or my probes had gone bad. I dug up another meter and got the same readings. So I just went back to the transformer and started seeing where I had rock-solid voltage and where it stops, and it happened to stop on the first connection off of the B+. That is where the wire was broken and just touching the terminal strip.
Anyway, I will soon be able to experiment with that antenna. I still am waiting on some resistors and I need to do some finishing work and alignment on this TV. But I will do something to fix that antenna like I said even if I am the only person who sees it.
