A lot of those coils aren't too bad to rewind. A little patience. There are quite a few threads here that document this, and may even be one on your coil. But, I would recommend swapping tubes, maybe even replacing with a new one, or even a couple different brands. Osc circuits can be kinda quirky, and sometimes it takes trying several different tubes to get it to work. Doesn't necessarily mean the tube is bad either, as it may work fine in another radio, or stage.
