Got to thinking about that 22 ohm 2 watt resistor and realized its not the correct replacement. I measured 0.295 amps (which is right on for the filament circuit) and that means that resistor is dissipating almost 2 watts so I should increase it to at least a 5 watt resistor.
"Fit the round peg into a square hole"
...well not quite but I started looking at putting my replacement IF coil into the original can as Terry suggested earlier in this THREAD.

The replacement I found has larger diameter coils and a different mounting system. I'll have to think about this a bit, it will be close but I think I can make it fit. I'll post pics of the fun...
