First of thanks again for all the terrific suggestions.  Yesterday (before 
seeing some of the suggestions) I unsoldered the top terminal wires from the 
16 Kc filter and connected up the ohm meter to the other filters top 
terminal "common".  Turning the IF deck over and over the problem did not 
repeat.  To confirm the fault was in the 16 Kc filter the ohm meter was 
connected to it and ground, and the IF deck turned over repeatedly.  There 
was infinite resistance, no fluctuations.  The 16 Kc filter was reconnected 
and the filter output to ground short "had gone away".  The AGC is working 
properly, at least for the time being.  My guess is the fault will return.
