Philco 89B headaches

Don't you have to bake the coil before you rewind it? Not sure if it will help after it is rewound... maybe someone can clarify this. Also, are you using a dmm for the voltage measurements? As I understand it the voltages will be a bit higher than what they say if using a dmm instead of the old meters they used back then.
