I haven't worked with tin can transistors before so I have to guess at what 
you mean :).  I took my cheapo multimeter set to continuity tester and 
touched the black wire to the case (ground) and red to the transistor 
outside.  My tester had tone for about 1 second until it faded away rather 
quickly.  It did that to all 4 transistors.

Hi !

Did you check/replace all the chassis transistors?  Probably one of them is 
shorted to the chassis.  Insulating pads could be cracked/broken or 
missing... Check them with a DVM on continuity between chassis and outside 
of transistor.

Good Luck.
