Don't think it's inside. The coil resistance (depending on the type sm) is somewhere around 800-1500 ohms. Have seen some sets that show a resistor on the diagram but none to be found on the chassis. It might be that the lower resistance coil may not require the resistor, it helps decrease the voltage drop across the coil and will not disable the set if the coil goes open.

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.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
