The bypass trick was for the shadow meter, not the coil in question, it is the primary of item 10. To check, I would hook one lead of your meter to the plate of the 78 RF tube and use the other probe to touch each of the 6 (I believe) connections to the bottom of the coil in question, one at a time. One should be at 0 ohms (the line from the plate and another should be a couple of ohms for the primary of the coil. If you don't get two connections with the low resistance, the coil is open. Let us know, there are opportunities for rewinding available. Philcos are notorious for coil problems.
