Bravo Greg! I'm so glad it's finally working!
I can say about that coil, from mine and other pictures I've seen, it's definitely wound clockwise, and the top/bottom arrangement I wrote earlier is the only way mine will respond at all. But I read somewhere else that oscillator coils defy all odds of being wired correctly the first time. I see what they meant.
At any rate, sorry for the confusion with my notes, congrats again on your radio! I hope to be there in a couple days, I've been very slowly learning/working since early December... This is only my second radio, and the first (A Zenith, ironically) couldn't have gone smoother. There has been a lot to learn.
