Brian, I really dont think you have any orig coil probs worthy of going to the trouble of rewinding, period. If anything, below 800kc not working, is most prob a weak tube, (try replacing the osc/mixer tube) as Bill suggested first and foremost!! A weak tube in the front-end can "shut down" a perfectly aligned set from the factory. Messing with alignment on these vintage auto radios is usually not necessary, as most have never been serviced before, or alignment "changed" in most cases! As Bill said, you most likely need to replace the 1 tube, and will find your stations ALL, loud & clear across the full dial!! You bet, auto radios need a good antenna when servicing them indoors a metal type bldg etc! String up a good 4'-20' insulated pc of insulated wire out thru a nearby window to your workbench! (horizontal) as high as possible. Get you a couple good used "spare tubes" to interchange in these cases, so you can be sure the tubes are strong enough to give good performance all across the dial. Tube testers can "lie" sometimes also!! The best "test" for any tube, is while inserted into the set it is intended for! Also, recheck ALL the tube-socket pin-connections! Make sure they are clean,snug, & shiny!! Always improves any vintage radio!!
