>forgive my ignorance!
No problem! I find myself on the wrong side of a transformer every once and a while too!

>your thoughts on coating the transformer coils with polyurethane? 
Not sure what effects it may have on the efficiency (known as Q of a coil). By lowering the Q it can foul things up, Oscillators won't oscillate, poor sensitivity, and poor selectivity.
I would stick with wax, nothing, or just a bit of lacquer. I'm thinking that getting rid of the original plastic strip is a big help to alleviate the rot problem.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
