I’m still very new to radio restoration and am working on a Philco 19X that I believe has problems with the detector and oscillator coils. I’m not sure how to properly test coils but I did a sound continuity test between the 5 pins of the detector coil and got continuity between #2, #4 and #5, nothing between #1 and #3. The ohm readings between those pins are on the enclosed photo.
I would appreciate it if someone could confirm that what I assume is the secondary, needs to be rewound and if so, what gauge of wire I require. It looks to be about 14 turns but my eyes are older then the radio so it’s hard to tell. ?
I’ll leave the oscillator coil for a later post just in case my assumptions on this coil are wrong.
Also if anyone can lead me to a post or even better, a video as to how to properly test coils, it would be greatly appreciated!
