37-116 Restoration
#14

Fixed the primary antenna coil. It turns out that both ends were "broken".

At one end the wire had somehow broken off of the terminal. I added a little piece of wire and reconnected it.

At the other end it was a bit trickier. It looks like the secondary is wound on a long coil form and the primary on a shorter form slipped over top of the long one. Wire from the end in question looks like it must go through a hole in the and up between the two forms to the terminal.

I took a minimally invasive approach. I displaced the wire a bit. Soldered a piece of wire to the end. Took the wire through a hole  up to the terminal. I didn't bother to snip the original bit that went to the terminal. Then I refreshed the wax a bit.

I didn't want to rewind the coil if at all possible.

On to the next problem, whatever that may be.
