Default TR7A problem

I have a TR7A that is very weak on receive and will not
transmit. The +10T and +10R lines operate normally when PTT
is selected and I press the mic switch. All receive
functions seem to work correctly, but the receive signal
level for even very strong signals is too low to produce
any AGC action. If I back off on the RF gain the S meter
does register, so it doesn't look like an AGC problem.
The -5 volt line is only -3.something, but the +24 line and
+10 supply are within specs. The output of the
multivibrator / bridge rectifier for the +24V is within
spec as well.

If anyone has seen this kind of problem and can tell me
where to start looking, I would appreciate it.

I'm not familiar with the TR-7 but the one area that is
certainly common to both receive and transmit is the antenna
switching circuit. Perhaps its stuck in some way so that
neither the receiver or transmitter is being connected to
the antenna.
