1930s Stewart-Warner Tombstone Radio need help identifying model number
#28

Another Update: I found a couple of damaged coils inside this radio that might have something to do with why this radio is not working right, one of the coils that was damaged was the SW Detector Coil and that coil had a small break in the wire due to some corrosion and the break was towards the end of the coil which if I knew how to make that kind of fine repair it would of been a pretty easy repair, but I really don't know how to repair that fine of wire, the other broken coil was the Antenna Coil, which has one of the terminals broken from the cardboard form and it doesn't look like it has a wire coming from one of the windings on the coil missing from it, but if it did that might explain why the antenna lead-in wire doesn't seem to do much for the radio reception wise and also might explain why the radio is partially deaf but the SW Detector coil having a broken wire wouldn't seem like it would affect the AM Band at all I wouldn't think just the SW Band.
