Well the ohm meter is showing 10 meg ohms between pin 1 mic ground and chassie ground when powered on. With the power turned off, the meter doesn't show any ohms at all.

It seems to me there is something shorted to ground along the mic circuit bringing the audio down.

I am not sure what pics to upload, so I uploaded a few!

The power cord pic is a pic of the new cord I had replaced. The ground wire on the old flat cord was burnt and not really connected.

Although the radio had worked fine before having this issue. This burnt ground wire had been like that when I had gotten it. I had been talking on it before any of this stuff that has been going on, so its not related.

At the mic connector I have no direct chassie ground to mic ground except through the .01 caps in which I thought they block any dc anyway?

Thank you Cable Guy. If you would like any particular pic, please let me know and I will certainly upload it. I appreciate you for your help.
