[NJARC] Philco 60 Antenna Coil - Open

[TrainBee]

Does anyone have any experience with rewinding an Antenna Coil (IF) for a Philco 60?  How about another Philco of similar vintage? I have one that has an open winding between terminals 2 and 3.  If not, have you ever rewound a coil and could give some advise?  I'm pretty sure I have the problem narrowed down.  There is no signal generated by the LO and no voltage readings from either terminal 2 or 3.  The ohms readings between the top lug and # 4 isn't close, but at least there is something.  I'm also getting a reading between terminals 1 and 6. Once again, it's not close to the schematic. 

I'd prefer to not rewind the entire coil.  But, if in your experience, this is what's needed, then I'll give it a try.  I've seen the info on Ron Ramirez's site and I'm hoping I can get some more shared experience from our members.  The Philco 60 I am working on is from the Sept. 1934 production run.  It incorporated quite a few of the improvements that Philco had for this radio.  

Thanks in advance for your help.
