As hoped, the broken wire soldered back fixed the coil.
I reconnected the antenna the way it is supposed to be and went straight to power-up via isolation transformer.
It started playing right away across the dial.
I quickly aligned it and I think I'm finished. (The alignment was enough to play but was nevertheless quite a bit off).
Tomorrow will put it back in the cabinet.
Oh....I never really checked the resistors except the candohm (in ideal shape, exactly where should be) and one more (3M which happened to be...3.03M, so....).
But I'd like quickly browse through them, just to exclude some way out of range...maybe this would explain less than HiFi quality of sound
Oh... the indicator tube works fine. I didn't even check if it is 6U5 as supposed to be or 6E5.
Just checked: 6U5. Got lucky, these are quite a bit more expensive than 6E5. And it seems new: very bright.
