Well success! It took me 3 times rewinding band #2 oscillator coil but it finally works. Phew! I never rewound a coil before and this one had to be my first. I'm sure it is off somewhat because I had to back off the trimmer cap all the way to align it and it still wasn't enough. I changed item #42x a 600 pf mica to a 470 pf unit then realigned it and now the trimmer is well within range. All that is left to do on this 37-116 is replace a defective mag tuning/pilot light switch if I ever locate one and some cabinet refinishing this summer.
