I took a break from Philcos and am working on an AK model 42.  I have been lucky so far that the coupling coils and interstage transformers are all OK, but I found that the antenna tapped coil was open at the start (bottom) connection. I took the coil apart and tried to connect to the remnants of the start wire but as soon as i touched it crumbled.  The coil must have gotten wet as most of the wire is oxidized. 

I think I can rewind it but it will be difficult since the wire appears to be 36AWG and the Pi width is very narrow. Does anyone know if there are replacements available or other coils that can be substituted. This coil also connects to the volume control and controls the signal level so it might be specific to these models.

Thanks,
