The oscillator seems to be okay. I did as you recommended. There is a resistor inside which raised the resistance. I did replace the coil with a new one from Radiodaze. I'm not sure I had all the lug connections right, but it did not make any difference. I guess the next thing to do is to check the antenna coil. The resistance levels are as listed below:
A+B=6 ohms; A+c=6 ohms; A+D=3 ohms; A+E=0; B+C=.1 ohm; B+D=3 ohms; B+E=O; C+D=3 ohms; C+E=0; D+E=0; E+ground=1 ohm.

Thanks, guys, for your continued help. !!!
