In reality the resistance isn't the important factor. What matters is the inductance. That's what makes up half of the tuned circuit. The inductance and the capacitance. Now if you are very lucky and you just so happen to pick the same gauge wire as the original then you might have a chance at coming close to the proper inductance on the primary. That's the important part. The secondary is a feedback winding that causes the circuit to oscillate. Not so critical. If you look at just the resistance you would think that the secondary is longer than the primary because it has more resistance. But I know that the secondary only needs to be about 20 percent of the primary for the oscillator to run properly. So the secondary must be wound with small gauge wire or the resistance measurements are wrong. Here's a link to one I did awhile back on a 1936 Philco 600.
