[AMRadio] SX 28 input coil

I'd recommend removing the coil and inspecting for damage. Often the
winding will fail outside the coil on one of the leads (hope, hope). Then
check each bundle for continuity. Then start unwinding that bundle until
you reach the break.

Brush on melted beeswax as you manually wind it back to full.

Also, you may find that a coil from almost any rig from that era,
especially one running the same tube, will be an equivalent substitute.

Before I follow my own advise above, does anyone have a junker GRR-5
(R-174) receiver?   ;-)
