Today the rewind went well . The antenna coil ohmed out good . The oscillator coil secondary was ok . Rewound the primary and that went well also . I used the notebook article " Convert to a 6A7 tube from a 36 tube " as a guide line . I thought that all I need is BC band to work and I will be happy enough . So I left the original secondary alone and rewound the primary as the article said . Went over my schematic and connected it up to the best of my knowledge , the radio uses a 6A7 anyway thought that I would give it a try . Fired it up and it came to LIFE ! Although the tuning is all out of wack , I was able to get it to receive a few stations , believe though that they were NOT in the BC band . That was enough for the day . Also any help on connecting the new rewind would be helpful .
