Tough to relate to pants and underwear. Let's make it simple Pith. Brenda, there should be six lugs on that coil. Two for the primary and 4 for the secondary which has two taps for band changing. Pith, your correct, two of those lugs should have two wires from the coil going to them, these are the taps from the secondary. Put your meter probe on either one of these and set your meter on the low resistance scale. Now measure to the other double wire lug should be low. Now leaving your meter connected to the first point, move your probe again to the lug going to the cap of the oscillator tube. Should read low. Now check the remaining lugs and you should find one more lug reading low. This will confirm the secondary of your transformer is good, you have continuity across all four of the connections.
Now, if you remembered which two had no connection to any of the four you just identified, these would represent the primary of your transformer. One should have gone to the plate of your RF amp, the other will go to C12 and on to more connections. Those two should show continuity but according to previous measurements didn't. Try measuring between these two to make certain there is no continuity and the coil is "open" (broken).
If still open, hopefully someone can answer your question of wire size and perhaps number of turns.
I have to go and change my pants.
Good luck, Jerry
