Sparkydave,
I have been through this a number of times now. I just made this post a couple of days ago, and maybe it will help you.

I have rewound tickler coils on 89/19 cathedrals probably at least a dozen times. I experienced the exact same problem,with the oscillator dropping out below 1000 MHz, many, many times.
By the way, I used 8,200 ohms for my cathode resistor. I didn't bake the coil, but I wouldn't hesitate to do that.
That post above contains what I think is the secret sauce.
Hope that helps.
