no reception 57C
#8

Hi Kurt,
Sorry I didn't get back to your PM. As gvel mentioned if all else is good the set will play with a bad ant coil just connect the ant to the grid cap of the mixer tube. I think I would rewind the original rather than replace it with a universal replacement which isn't designed for that set.
To rewind remove coil from set. At the bottom you will see a narrow winding this is the primary which is open. Remove this winding only! Do not remove the other winding ( the larger one) The primary isn't critical about 20 turns of 32-38ga wire. Direction is not very critical.

#9 Is close enough to work fine, replace #24. 24 should be a 1/2 job as most of the resistors are, The exceptions being the two voltage divider resistors and the wire wound resistor at the center tap of the power transformer.

Definitely should recap this set before trying to get in to work. It will save you a bunch of time and trouble just to find that all the caps are in need of replacement anyway.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
