Hi Lisa,
>From that we can assume that ALL 570 grandfather clock sets are the early version without AVC.
Not sure what you are asking, but I will name the coils on the schematic starting from the upper left is the antenna coil (or transformer) marked as #2 it is between the volume control and first 24 tube. Next ,between that 24 tube and the 2nd 24 is #6. This is the coil you need and is usually called an RF interstage transformer. Philco called it the 1st detector coil. Below and in series with the secondary of the detector coil is the oscillator coil marked as #8. Between the 2nd and 3rd 24 tube is the 1st IF transformer # 19. Between the 3rd and 4th 24 tube is the 2nd IF transformer # 22.  Between the 47 tube and the speaker is #37 the Audio Output Transformer.  # 39 is the speaker Field Coil (choke). Finally #42 is another Choke in the power supply.
