Just a thought...could the chassis be a hot chassis? The outer case of the "f" fitting could be in contact with a hot chassis...connect the cable....short to ground. Wouldn't be the first I'd seen. It was common for folks in the early 80's to replace the screw terminals with "F" fittings to make sets cable/Atari/MATV ready. I remember one set a customer had tried to modify for an F fitting - an RCA we never could fix - burnt runs and vaporized rectifiers in the B+.....
Just a thought, not at all familiar with the 8-301W..
Cheers,
