Philco 37-116 oscillator rewind
#1

The band #2 oscillator coil part #32-2194 on my 37-116 is open (no surprise on this model). I have never rewound a coil before and this one has 5 taps on it so I'm thinking this will be a tough project. I have melted the wax from it and the wire underneath is just crumbling. I doubt that I could get an accurate turns count in this condition. Soooooo, my question is has anyone here ever rewound this coil successfully? If so do you remember how many turns from tap to tap and what direction CW or CCW also from what measurement I got on the old wire using a micrometer it looks like it might be #38 or #40 gauge wire, not sure.
I have tried locating one with the help of people on here but so far no luck. Has anyone ever found a place that does rewinding? One place I contacted about a replacement coil said don't bother as there isn't much on this band. I hate to do all this restoration work on such a top notch radio as this and not get it working properly especially after going through the pain of getting the RF sub-chassis out!
Thanks for any and all help.
