Since you are receiving stations, I sort of doubt the oscillator coil is your problem, but if it is leaky (leakage between windings), all manner of weird things could occur.

If you should have to rewind the oscillator primary, please note it is wound counterclockwise. Most Philco coil primaries are wound clockwise. If you wind the primary of the Model 60 oscillator coil clockwise, it will perform poorly (if at all), will not cover the entire AM band, and SW performance will be very poor to nonexistent.

You mention the set was "supposed to have been 'gone through' already." Hey, maybe someone rewound the oscillator coil primary and wound it backwards? I've seen that occur before.
