Forgot to mention you said that you measured the antenna coil. Very important that when you check the primary that you have the volume turned up all the way. If you don't then you might be measuring just the volume control not the coil.
Testing
Measure from ant post to ground with volume up and set unplugged. Should be a low resistance like 5-20ohms. If it's up in the 1000's rewind it. The may play with the primary open but it will play much better with it intact. I'd go with 20 or 30 turns of 30-36G wire (not critical).
