37-84 No RF after overhaul

This is for earlier sets but it's all pretty much the same. The important thing is that you need to wind the new winding in the same direction as the original so take note when before you remove it. On the ant and rf coil it doesn't matter but on the oscillator the phasing is important. Wire ga isn't real critical something between 32-38ga is fine. A telltale sign of a bad coil is if you look closely at  the winding thru the wax coating you probably is green dots. This is where the copper wire is corroded. If you try to unwind it it falls apart. It's not very many turns it's like 20-25.

Have fun it's an easy fix!

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
