If it is for the model 80 it's 20K. Two quick checks, one unplug set turn volume all the way up. Measure resistance from ANT post to chassis ground. Should be very low like a few ohms. If not antenna coil primary is open. Two, Turn volume all the away down.Measure resistance from antenna post to chassis ground. Should read about 20,000 ohms. If not check volume control, open or bad ground connection.
How's your oscillator doing?
