Philco 60 Antenna Coil
#1

Hello Everybody,

Amateur here.

Quite sometime ago, I had to walk away from a 60 that has been stumping me for years. I've restored several other radios since, all with good luck, but this 60 is not cooperating with me.  I'm determined to fix it!

I've re-capped the radio, changed out all the necessary resistors and believe the radio is in spec regarding the discreet components. The coil windings all seem to be giving the correct ohm readings, and the tubes all check out. Voltages seem to check out. I've gone through the radio wire/wire against the schematic, and all seems to be proper. When powered up, I get a loud howl through the speaker. That is where I left the radio some time ago.

OK. I'm back on the set, starting at where the antenna connection is made into the radio. What I thought was simply a trimmer cap, has an antenna coil mounted beneath it. (Hadn't noticed it in the past) The schematic does not give a specific value. I'm reading 21 ohms. 

Can anyone tell me if this is correct?

Thanks much.
