You may already know this - C25 inject the BFO oscillations. *It is a simple

I do remember finding a strange wire on the S-38 that I recently restored..
It killed band 2. *I compared the actual circuit to the schematic and put it
back to the schematic. *You can read about it starting at the third
paragraph hehttp://www.ppinyot.com/H/s-38.htm

Not documented on the web page, I later ran into "Silver Mica Disease". *I
took apart the IF cans and added external caps.

Other than that I do not know.
Good Luck,

Thanks for the web page Paul. The wire in the picture on that page
appears to be the same one that I have been questioning. That would
certainly explain why it is not connected to anything. My band number
2 is active so that would also be a good indicator. I did listen to
the radio last ngiht and could receive SW from all over the world on a
4 ft piece of wire.
Thanks to all who have responded to my question! This group sure is
a great tool for the radio hobby!
Thanks again. Do any of you have any thoughts or comments on
restoration of an RME-84 receiver? That is next on my list of things
to do!
