Meet the two solder pads that should have been soldered together. Held together by a flake at one time.

I've also seen that more than once before myself. I take it that fixed your issue?
Yes. It was strange because the voltage on the the trace on the board that comes from the “switched” leg of that control pot was showing 2.7v. My first thought was a shorted component was drawing down the power. The radio would actually turn on, but dim. Thats wierd.
