1936 Philco model 84 cathedral
#8

Best I remember the winding isn't critical as to the number of turns,about 20 of #30 to 36G should do it and if you wind it in the wrong direction you can just switch the wires that solder to lugs.
Testing
Look at the osc coil and you should see a 6000 ohm resistor and a mica cap (140mmfd) in parallel soldered to one of the lugs. Measure the resistance from that lug to chaiss ground. Should read only a few ohms (3-10) If it is higher pull it a rewind it.
Good Luck w/it
Terry

When my pals were reading comic books
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!
