Have you checked with Mark O. regarding the 100K control? Perhaps Wilbur Gilroy might have a parts chassis laying around for the control and ANT coil.
As for the coil, if an original RCA coil can't be found, perhaps you could adapt one from a Philco to work or, as a last resort, use one of the little universal ANT coils from AES.
Could it be corrosion, debris or rust between the tuning condenser plates causing the rub, or do you think they are bent? I usually try to slide paper between the plates to see if I can feel any resistance where they could be rubbing.
Good luck!
