The oscillator coil is notorious for going bad in Model 19 and 89 sets.
This should be removed (once you note which wire goes to what terminal), baked in an oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees Fahrenheit; then once the coil is removed from the oven and allowed to cool, the windings should be checked for continuity. Chances are that the cathode winding (outer winding on the coil) will be bad; they are in the vast majority of these 19 and 89 sets.
The coil should be baked as described above to drive out moisture. Moisture absorption in the coil will kill an oscillator in these sets, also.
Baspas, please check your PM. Thanks.
