If the wiper of the frequency pot is shorted to ground (or maybe
to the case?), it would short out the power supply when you
turned the pot to max. Check that the wiper (middle connection)
of thepot isn't touching anything else, check that the wire
from the wiper contact hasn't come off at the other end. There
is an electrolytic cap between the wiper and ground - if that
has gone short, that might do it.

I'm just working from the schematic. I don't own a 200. Got any
photos of the inside.
