Ok now we are getting somewhere! Remove the coil. Trace from the connections to the coil winding that is open. It will need to be rewound. I'm thinking that it will be the smaller of the two. If you are lucky that winding will be on the outside where it can be serviced. If this is the case carefully unwind it while counting the turns. Also noting the direction. I don't think that part of the coil that is open is frequency determining it's part of the feedback circuit. Post a pic of the coil before you remove the bad part.
Not much longer and we'll have it working!!

If you like PM me and I'll pass along my PH# if you need some moral support.
