Philco 84 ("38-1139")
#4

It's quite possible you can get the coil going again by unwinding the coil back to the open point and repairing it. Hopefully it's not too far in.

Clean the wire ends and resolder them. Try using some fingernail polish over the connection to insulate it, then after it dries, re-wrap the wire around the coil. It might be a quick 'n simple fix, and would be worth a try before rewinding the whole thing.

Good luck, and keep us posted.
