OK , I pulled the oscillator coil and inspected it . I cleaned it up with a little alcohol and a soft bristle brush. It seems that there are tiny microscopic green "dots" but I know I am not going to attempt to rewind that beast. Looks like a job for a brain surgeon . I didn't pull out the inner coil but I checked all contacts for continuity , put it back in the radio. Swapped # 24 tube with another one I had . The only thing I haven't tried is to reduce # 35 resistor from 8000k to 6000k since I don't currently have one.

The radio essentially behaves as before. Sometimes (not every time) when I first apply power I have to short pin 2 of # 24 tube to ground and it fires right up . I may have to live with it that way . If you all have any further suggestions I'd welcome them . I'll even get a 6000k resistor if you think it would help. thanks
