Hi,

I merged your two threads together. The Phorum Rules prohibit having more than one thread on the same subject by the same author.

Fortunately, for those older Philcos, it isn't super critical to get the rewinding perfect. It is, however, critically important that the new winding be wound in the same direction as the original winding, else your oscillator will never work.

And keep in mind that antenna coil is used for the standard AM band as well as "short wave" (actually what was then known as the "police" band, 1.5 to 4 mc), so if it has an open winding, it too will require rewinding.
