Ok, I have a problem. Everything I have read says both the oscillator and antenna coils have only a handful of turns. The oscillator coil I have has 91 turns of one wire and 14 of the other. The antenna has 152 and 19. Both forms themselves are made of plastic, maybe bakelite, not cardboard as I would have expected from an older radio. In any case, the other radios I have restored appear to have coils made of cardboard. Anyway, I rewound both coils and, needless to say, the radio still doesn't get reception. I am right now searching for info on the antenna coil part 32-1310 and oscillator coil part 32-1311 to determine the exact and correct number of turns for both. Would anyone venture to speculate the I.F. transformer is bad which could be the cause of no reception?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
