[Boatanchors] DX-35 problem - continued

I might have found the reason for little/no grid drive (NOT adjustable by 
the drive control) and that is the installation/orientation of the two 
oscillator plate coils (20 and 40 meters).

On page 21 of the manual it says to install the coils with the RED DOT 
facing a specific way.

(I can not see a RED DOT on my coils).

I think that the RED DOT signifies either the start or the end of the coil 
winding and the coils must be installed accordingly, otherwise why would 
they even have the RED DOT?

So, I need some one who has a working DX-35 to look at the coils and tell me 
how they are wired with respect to the start and end of the windings.

Or, explain to me how the connection of coils in series are effected by 
connecting the start or end of the windings ~ start to start, start to end, 
etc.  (I hope that made sense)

TIA es 73.
