The coil in question appears to be intact, but measures at a higher value than spec. These coils are nearly impossible to access without disassembling the tuner section, which I have done to troubleshoot this problem. I didn't use the transistor radio test, but I had passed an RF generator line around the chassis at full output and got zilch, except when it was attached or in close proximity to the 6A8G oscillator tube, but that bypasses the coils. I need to verify everything is in correct order before reassembling this section. This radio was in very bad condition and hadn't run since the 1950's.
