You can also have a look at pin5 of the 6A8. Should see a volt or two negative on it when the osc is working. Compare it to the working SW band. 0 or positive voltage indicates no feedback.
If you want to listen for it the osc frequency= dial frequency+ the IF (470kc).
If you do find that the coil is inoperative there are universal replacements available, not sure if they have a tap but may not matter as they are slug tuned so you could use the slug to set the low end of the band instead of #13.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
