model 18 no reception
#16

Methinks it's your osc coil. In a perfect world when you rewound the feedback or tickler winding you would have use the same size wire, # of turns and the same direction. If you didn't then this could cause your problem.
I'd pop it back out and add a few turns and see if that helps. The direction is critical. Gauge of the wire not so much original was 38ga. You can get away with use a size or two larger. # of turns = the original # but if it doesn't oscillate across the whole band add some more like 3 or 4 more.

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.

Now I think I've got!
