Well it does have continuity. 24 ohms does seem a bit high but I have seen some Philco antenna coils with a large winding on a bobbin inside the coil form. Go head and put it back in place.
When originally when you tested it did you have an antenna connected? Did you have the volume control (RF gain) turn up? If not by touching the grid cap your bypassing the volume control.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
