With thanks once again to Terry, I finished up this radio tonight. I was waiting on a new 20K volume control / power switch, which, happily, arrived today. It is amazingly powerful...it picks up the local station and strongest Milwaukee station without ANY antenna lead connected! I learned a few things in the past week restoring this set: the OSC coil worked fine even with the gaps between the windings of the primary I rewound. Most important are the number of turns and the direction they were wound. I also was happy to find nothing was wrong with the ANT coil...the low volume and poor reception was all due to the 500K volume control someone decades ago replaced the original 20K one with. I got lucky with the photo finish on the front of the cabinet....it cleaned up well and some careful touch up of the chips with a black magic marker and a quick thumb wiping the excess off so only the chipped areas got colored really made it pop again!
