Peter,

Thank you. These are helpful. I figured out where the broken wire went, and added a short extension to it so I could reconnect it.

However, that did not help, because as you pointed out, that coil bank is for the antenna input. My local oscillator is still dead for MW.

I note by visual inspection that the coil on the lower right of your last photo is the MW local oscillator coil. I checked the coil itself with a meter and it seems to have good continuity. Can you please point out the MW local oscillator section in the Baltika 52 schematic? I'm having problems tracing the schematic around the band switch, and it would help a lot. I'm so close to having this radio in good working order, I don't want to give up now.
