Thanks again Mondial and Skyscraper.

I examined my oscillator coil closely this evening to try to ensure that I do the rewinding correctly. I drew a picture to help and I thought I would share, no comments on my crude drawing skills please;) Here is a picture.

The wire comes down off of pin 1 and out through a hole and 'turns right' if you are looking down the tube with the terminal lugs closest to you. 27 turns later, the wire passes lug #1 and gets below lug #2 and then cuts over and across the windings up and through a hole and continues up to lug #2.

The diagram in lower right shows approximate location of the windings. The terminal lugs aren't shown, but would be on the right side of the coil form. I think the dimension to the first turn is probably the more important one, as the distance to the last turn will depend on wire gauge and how close the individual turns are to one another.

Does anyone feel that this diagram is incorrect? I don't want to propagate bad information, but I thought a diagram might be helpful to someone down the road.

Finally, We had great news today. My first granddaughter was born this afternoon. 5 lbs 13 oz. She's tiny, but adorable!
