Fingers crossed you'll get lucky and won't have to, but chances are you're going to have to rewind at least one, possibly all three of the coils (ANT, OSC and RF). The model 89's are notorious for having open primary windings on their coils. Here's the notes from when I did mine many years ago: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=8753
