Ron, when I did the restoration on my model 19, I did have to rewind the feed back winding of the oscillator coil as is usually the case. I also baked it in the oven and sprayed it with lacquer and I have never had any trouble with the oscillator. But I am going to do the modification to improve the reliability (and hopefully the performance) of the radio. As far as authenticity, it doesn't matter because my radio isn't a perfect example anyway. Also Ron I would like to say thank you for putting this type of information out for the rest of us.
