[Hallicrafters] SX-25 help needed

[carolew]

Guys, I need some help. I'm working on an SX-25. It plays well on Bands
1 and 2 but weak on Bands 3 and 3B. I hooked an ohmeter between the
antenna post and ground. I get continuity on Bands 1, 2 and 4 but an
open on Bands 3 and 3B. This tells me that the antenna coil on Band 3/3B
has an open primary.

The RF section is quite crowded. How do I identify the antenna coil for
Band 3/3B? How do I remove that coil? If I can identify it and remove
it, I'm hoping that the break is near the outside. If not, I have an
SX-25 parts set with good antenna coils. I'll just substitute. However,
to do that, I have to be able to identify the Band 3/3B antenna coil.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated! Thanks.
