I agree with John, close inspection of the matching transformer and coax is in order. In addition to the obvious short circuit caused by shield wire, is there any possibility that water could have gotten in to the coax? One of the least expensive items in a collection of 'test equipment' is a 100' section of RG-6 with good connectors, a matching transformer is even less expensive.
Testing would not require that you replace the existing run. Temporally run from the antenna to the set through an open window or door. If you prove trouble to the existing cable or transformer, then proceed with replacement.
It sounds like you are running the cable through your attic. I avoid working in my attic on a sunny 50° day.
