As long as it keeps working, I'm not going to do anything. I'm just thinking ahead because, at some point, it will probably quit again. John is right, bake the coil, bake it and immediately seal it, it will probably last many years. But then, I like a challenge . I did this mod on a Philco 19 two or three years ago and it worked very well but it was one of the tough ones that wouldn't respond to any of the normal tricks.
