When you rewound the oscillator coil, did you wind that outer (tickler) winding clockwise, or counterclockwise in relation to the pins at the bottom?
The winding should be wound counterclockwise in relation to the bottom pins. Although, if you would it clockwise by accident, switching the connections to pins 1 and 2 might have brought it back to life? (You said you had already tried that.)
The size of the original wire was 36 gauge; using 40 gauge should not have upset the circuit that much as these coils have a fair amount of leeway.
I just looked up my notes, and I see the outer winding should have 34 to 35 turns, not 18. You may have to try that again and then see what happens.
