Hello there...after having just worked on a model 19 ( Canadian version 319 chassis ) I can tell you that the capacitor value for the RC network for the oscillator was around 700pf ( less than 1000p for sure ). When you add a wire or probe to the network you are adding capacitance ( a few 10's to 100's of pf ). So since you rewound some of the oscillator coil it looks like you will need to add 100pf or so to compensate for coil inductance differences. If an additonal 100pf does not work then try 200pf...it should start oscillation with these additional values hopefully.
