RF Coil for Model 20 or 20A
#4

Very common issue on the early sets. Pretty simple to fix. Primary winding is on the outside so it's easy to remove and rewind w/new wire. Wire gauge isn't particularly crucial something like 32-40ga is fine. It's not a tuned circuit so the # of turns isn't critical abt 50 is good. The phasing (direction) dosen't matter.
I suppose you could cheat and use a resistor and cap to supply the hv to the 24A plate and a cap to couple the rf signal the secondary of the coil.

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!
