Ok, I have a problem. Everything I have read says both the oscillator and antenna coils have only a handful of turns. The oscillator coil I have has 91 turns of one wire and 14 of the other. The antenna has 152 and 19. Both forms themselves are made of plastic, maybe bakelite, not cardboard as I would have expected from an older radio. In any case, the other radios I have restored appear to have coils made of cardboard. Anyway, I rewound both coils and, needless to say, the radio still doesn't get reception. I am right now searching for info on the antenna coil part 32-1310 and oscillator coil part 32-1311 to determine the exact and correct number of turns for both. Would anyone venture to speculate the I.F. transformer is bad which could be the cause of no reception?
