Wow! Thanks so much, Mondial, for taking the time to do that for me. It will be a great help. I will compare your terminals to mine tonight. I did rewind the RF coil primary that came out of this set tonight. 12 turns of 38 gauge wire. I used a micrometer to measure the diameter of the old coil wire and the 38 gauge is only .0015 smaller in diameter, where as the 32 gauge I used on the coil from my parts set is about .0025 bigger in diameter. I think the 38 gauge is pretty darn close. A piece of paper is .003 thick, so we are talking miniscule amounts of difference. The thing that makes me most nervous is did it get the wire wound tight enough. If there's a teeny tiny gap between one of the windings is that going to throw everything off or not? I guess time will tell once this coil is installed. I'm hoping that is what is causing me to receive short wave. I did notice the RF coils have different part numbers between the early set with the #36 tube and the later sets with the #77 tube, while the OSC coils share the same part number for both versions.

If this still gives me problems I may call on your kindness once more to trace the wires for your RF coil for comparison.

Again, my most grateful thanks for your help. That's what's great about this Phorum... everyone is united in a common bond to get these long dormant radios playing again. And there is compassion for those whose skill levels and knowledge may not be up to par with some of the more seasoned radio restoring veterans rather than ridicule.
