Spent 4 hours chasing a phantom short in a vintage receiver

Turned out to be a single strand of wire from a braided ground lead had frayed and was intermittently touching the chassis. Anyone else run into something this subtle on old gear?

Ugh, that's the worst. Have you tried hitting the whole chassis with a bright light and a magnifier to spot those tiny stray strands?
