Well, good!
All's well that ends well...
Yes, all 1928-1935 and some 1936 Philco coils are notorious for going open (usually the secondary or tertiary winding but sometimes the primary as well), which is what I suspected at first.
So you don't need a MOD after all and I'll stop going down that path.
P.S. The mod would only work if the 0.7 ohm section of the primary was/is good.
