Ok Greg, I took a look at the photos and my 89. Its really hard to tell, but I don't notice anything obviously wrong with the osc coil wiring. I did trace out the wires to my coil so you can compare with what you have. I am starting from the lower left of the coil referenced to your photo and counting clockwise from there.
Term 1 - to pin 4 of 36 tube
Term 2 - to resistor 10 and cap 8
Term 3 - to LF osc compensator 16 and one side Ist IF comp 15
Term 4 - to IF primary and other side of 1st IF comp 15
Term 5 - to tuning cap
extra wire from coil center - to pin 2 of 36 tube
I also tried a test with my 89. I pulled out the 44 RF tube and jumped antenna to the cap of the 36 ( leaving cap wire connected). Doing this I got great reception, almost as good as normal. So if your 36 stage is working properly you should hear broadcast stations with the 44 tube removed. Otherwise there is a problem with the 36 circuit and that's where you need to look first.
