I got the IF transformer out that had the open coil and unfortunately there was not anything obvious that was causing the open. The two ends of the coil were solidly connected to the lugs. I re-heated the solder at each lug to see if that would help, no dice. I unsoldered the two ends of the coil, sanded the ends clean and rechecked continuity...no dice. I uncoiled the first turn of the coil and it came off nicely so no break at the very beginning, and I can't unwind from the bottom...so it looks like this coil is dead unless someone has another idea.
I don't have any old Philco coils lying about as Terry suggested but I think this coil from Antique Radio Supply should work. https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/coil-oscillator Is that correct???
Can I just wire it in directly like this????
