i received a 38-40 radio with the range 2 antenna coil missing. I'm trying to run the radio without it beceause, if i'm right, it is the Shortwave coil. I tried to just bypass it. I changed all paper caps and electrolytics and NOS tubes. The radio plays but is very quiet. I tried to align but the tone is also barley audible. Would not having the range 2 coil be a problem or do i not need it. I don't care about receiving SW anyway. I would like to elimanate this from my troubleshooting process. Thanks GaryK
